Agronomy Department and Course Weekly Update
January 20, 2016
We are waiting on the weather to cooperate so we can begin
to re-paint the Driving Range Tees and Targets, as well as, the first paint
application on the greens. These applications provide definition from the
surrounding dormant turf grass. Our Spray Technician, Fernando Plata, has spent
the last two weeks spraying over 45 acres for Pre/Post emergent weed control.
Personally, this has been an application that I have been chomping at the bit to
apply. We will see great weed control out of this tank in the coming weeks and
months. Good bye Poa!
We also took advantage of the cold weather on Tuesday and
Wednesday to repaint all the tee markers, entry/exit posts and pressure wash
equipment. Due to the sub freezing weather, we removed all the ball washers
from the course and will touch up the paint before returning to golf course, so
keep a towel handy to clean your golf balls over the next 10-14 days.
Next time out, hopefully, you will notice the repairs to #5
and #15 cartpath. They turned out great and we will be detailing the edges
shortly.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at kmacdonald@valleycrest.com and for

See you on the course,
