Agronomy Department and Course Weekly Update
December 5, 2013
I can’t believe it is December already, it seems like
yesterday the Club voted to convert to MiniVerde greens.
It has been another rainy week on the course. We have not
been able to finish spraying our PreEmergent tank due to the rain. No worries, we have plenty of time to finish.
We have been testing different paint/pigments to use on the greens once they go
completely dormant. We have used the
Nursery Green as our trial green testing 4-5 products and it is beginning to
look like a checkered quilt. The goal is
to paint the greens once they go completely dormant, so if we have a warm
winter, there is a possibility we do not paint at all.
I hope everyone is enjoying the new greens; I have been
pleasantly surprised how great they are putting for being almost dormant. It gets us excited in the Agronomy Dept, to
focus on attacking the golf course this summer while the greens are running
this quick.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at kmacdonald@valleycrest.com and for

See y’all on the course,
