Agronomy Department and Course Weekly Update
December 22, 2015



Yesterday in front of the rain, I challenged our maintenance team, to finish the drainage on #14 red tees AND haul/install the remaining 9 loads of the sand into the greenside bunker on #3. It was a big challenge considering the upcoming holidays and forecasted weather the next 10 days. The team knocked it out of the park! They completed both tasks and challenges. In total, the bunker on #3 took 22 loads of sand, which is approximately 40 tons. The drainage on #14 will provide a positive impact on the aesthetics of the turf throughout the year.  

The next 2 weeks the team will be taking time off property to spend it with family and friends. Typically, our staff works a 6 day work week; it is always nice to see them get away from the property to recharge the batteries.  

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 you on the course,


Kyle Macdonald, GCS, Class A
