Agronomy Department and Course Weekly Update
November 28, 2013
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone gets to enjoy some great
food and time with family.
This is quite a week for the weather… Rain all day on
Tuesday, Snow flurries and windy on Wednesday and Sub 20 degrees for Thursday
morning. The maintenance staff pulled covers on Wednesday morning and will
remove them Friday morning before the shotgun. The weather fell right in line
with our protocol to pull covers and keep them on for a day.
We have also started one of our PreEmergent Herbicide
applications this week. This application not only kills existing weeds in the Bermuda turf, it also prevents new weeds from
germinating. We expect to see 80-85% control this season and have Post Emergent
Herbicide’s on hand to control any breakthrough.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at kmacdonald@valleycrest.com and for

See y’all on the course,
