Agronomy Department and Course Weekly Update

February 17, 2014

I apologize for the minimal amount of communication during the last few weeks.  It has been crazy between 2 snow storms and my trip to the GIS (Golf Industry Show) in Orlando, I haven’t really sat down in front of a computer.

We are still trying to finish up our winter maintenance projects but have obviously been hindered by the recent weather.  This week’s weather looks promising, so we should be able to finish up the crape myrtle pruning and trimming of the miscanthis grass.  One of our last big winter projects is to remove the remainder of the fans around the greens, however, we have to let the course dry out before allowing the heavy equipment on the turf.

With the great weather predicted this week, I hope to see a lot of packed tee sheets!!

 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,
