March is always a difficult month weather-wise with conditions all over the map from warm to cold and wet to dry, this season has been no different with snow and heavy rain conditions. The crew has been out on the course daily working on spring clean-up, placement of course accessories, and filling divots. We have also been able to mow the greens three times along with tees, approaches and certain fairways receiving their first mowing. Our bunker project on 17 is continuing to move forward even with the poor weather, 6,000 feet of sod was installed this week with the remaining sod and bunker sand to be completed next week. Our sand replacement program is moving along as well, currently working on 11 fairway bunkers, once those are completed we will move across the street for the final stretch of the program.
A very important spring practice that we completed this week is our soil testing program on tees, greens and fairways. These tests allow us to monitor changes in the chemical make-up of the soil allowing us to tailor our fertilizer program accordingly focusing on deficiencies in certain nutrients.
