Agronomy Department and Course Weekly Update
April 30, 2014

It always happens…  You turn around and the season is hitting you square in the face. The Agronomy Department is ramping up staff and busy training new employees.

We have completed our wall-to-wall fertilizer application, so once we finally get consistent warm weather the Bermuda grass should really start moving.  We will also begin stripping the Bermuda grass that did not transition through last winter.  These areas will be stripped, graded, a pre plant fertilizer applied, sodded with new grass and hand watered.  It does not appear that we will have more than a truck or two of sod to lay and we are hesitant to start striping sod until we have at least one good week of warm weather.

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
