LATE ADDITION!!

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 more information follow us on Twitter @stivescc_vcsup and the Blog: http://vcgmstivescountryclub.blogspot.com/


See y’all on the course,

Kyle Macdonald, GCS, Class A
