We had a clogged drain line that was causing water to back up in a catch basin on hole #17 (near #15 tee). Heavy rains and a very high groundwater table was causing water to overflow and run across the fairway. Besides the obvious concern, the cold temperatures have been causing the water to freeze on the fairway which is very detrimental.<br />
The pipe has now been cleared and water is flowing underground again. The ice should melt in the next few days when we receive the predicted rain and warmer temperatures.<br />

</div>
During the 2018 season we received the approval from the Green & Grounds Committee, the Golf Committee and the Board of Governors to eliminate the first two fairway bunkers on hole number ten. They are a constant maintenance problem and require pumping after almost every rain event.<br />
Filling them in will save man hours and improve playability.<br />
Rough grade has been completed. We will add some screened topsoil and seed the area in the Spring.<br />
The following pictures show our progress.<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; letter-spacing: .3pt;">Excitement for the upcoming golf season begins to build during late
winter. While some golf facilities in the Northeast close for winter, others
continue to allow play depending on the weather. When the weather is favorable,
allowing play usually is a fairly simple decision. However, the decision
becomes much more difficult when the weather fluctuates between extremes. Mild
and sunny days in February and March might be enticing to golfers, but lasting
turfgrass damage can result when winter play is allowed under the wrong
conditions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; letter-spacing: .3pt;">Playing golf during highly variable winter
weather can result in turf damage. During late winter, cold snaps often follow
periods of warm temperatures. Under these conditions, turf is extremely
vulnerable to injury from traffic. Play during a sudden thaw can be especially
damaging because the upper 1 or 2 inches of soil can defrost while the
underlying soil remains frozen. Traffic under these conditions can shear turf
roots at the interface between the thawed and frozen layers. Such shearing can
compromise turf health come spring.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; letter-spacing: .3pt;">Frozen soils also cannot drain. When
precipitation occurs, the surface of frozen soils will remain saturated and
prone to injury. Soils also dry slowly during late winter due to short day
length and cool temperatures, so even unfrozen soils will be slow to dry and
firm up after precipitation. Soft surfaces are more vulnerable to damage from
foot traffic, ball marks, rutting and compaction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; letter-spacing: .3pt;">It is important to remember, no matter how
thawed or frozen the soil is, turf is unlikely to be growing during winter.
Grass that isn’t growing cannot recover from damage until spring. Therefore,
turf damage that occurs during winter can have a cumulative effect that lasts
until warm weather arrives and the grass is able to recover.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; letter-spacing: .3pt;">Before allowing winter play ask, </span><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; letter-spacing: .3pt;"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">what is the
purpose of winter play</span>? <span style="color: #333333;">All golf
facilities welcome additional rounds, but sometimes allowing play during winter
presents more costs than benefits. Keep in mind that winter play under the
wrong conditions may result in a net loss due to the expense of repairs or slow
spring greenup.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Every golf
course has a finite amount of space, sunlight, nutrients and water to support
plant life. Unfortunately, trees and turfgrass often compete for these
resources, and they don’t always like to coexist. Remember, it is unusual to
find trees in grassland prairies and we don’t often find turfgrass under forest
canopies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">While trees
can enhance a golf course, they also require continual management to prevent
them from causing turf issues. Trees near putting greens require special
attention because they can cause serious problems on these important playing
surfaces. Consistent tree management helps limit competition between trees and
turf for sunlight, water and nutrients.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Trees have
an obvious height advantage over turf when it comes to capturing sunlight.
Putting green turf is also at a major disadvantage in terms of leaf area
available to capture sunlight. To compensate for limited leaf area, most high
quality putting greens require full sun conditions throughout the day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Trees also
block air movement, negatively affecting the turfgrass growing environment.
Insufficient air movement contributes to wet, soft playing surfaces that are
slow to dry. Disease and turf loss are more common in areas that remain wet for
extended periods. As such, it should come as no surprise that the most
problematic putting greens on a golf course usually are the ones surrounded by
trees. When problem trees are removed, these same putting greens often perform
better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Competition
from tree roots is another issue. The majority of tree roots are quite shallow,
often occupying the same space as turfgrass roots. This results in competition
for water and nutrients, a battle that trees will usually win. Tree roots also
frequently grow into putting greens, damaging drainage systems and in some
cases even disrupting ball roll. For these reasons, root pruning is
periodically needed around trees growing in close proximity to fine turf areas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Furthermore,
tree debris causes playability issues and can damage the blades of expensive
mowers. Many valuable labor hours are required to remove tree debris from
putting greens each year; labor hours that could have been allocated to other
tasks. There are also some trees – such as hackberry, juniper, oak, sycamore
and black walnut – that produce natural chemicals that can be toxic to other
plants, including turfgrass.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Trees can be
lovely to behold, but their location on a golf course must be carefully
considered to avoid difficult and costly turf problems. Successful tree
management requires routine monitoring, mapping and, when necessary, selective
pruning and removal to maintain healthy turf.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We have been preparing our greens for winter.</span> </div>
<br />
<b>The Process:</b><br />
1) Deep-tine or drill and fill aerification<br />
2) Aerify again with 3/4 inch solid tines<br />
3) Spray plant protectants to prevent snow mold diseases<br />
4) Topdress heavily to provide "protective blanket" and fill aerifying holes<br />
<br />
We do our best to extend the playing season as long as possible. Weather is the limiting factor. Frosty mornings and frozen ground or frozen sand limits our ability to perform these labor intensive tasks. Wet ground also makes it impossible to run the heavy equipment over green surfaces.<br />

What You Should KnowAerification of the greens is the most important piece of the maintenance puzzle. It is integral to our ability to provide a consistent quality putting surface throughout the season.<br />
I know... Greens are great and then we aerify.<br />
Truthfully, we have worked hard to manipulate when, how and what we do to minimize member inconvenience and maximize the indisputable agronomic benefits of the process.<br />
Our goal is to continue our long range plan of increasing the creeping bentgrass population on greens, reduce compaction, manage thatch, improve soil oxygen exchange and the list goes on. It is a delicate balancing act and we are reaping the rewards with our ever evolving maintenance regime. I won't bore you with more technical details.<br />
We started Wednesday with the aerification and overseeding process. The weather was perfect!. The root system of our greens are most weak at the end of August. I am always concerned that root systems may be overly compromised in late August and we might do more damage than I find acceptable.<br />
Remember, My goal is to have the greens back in shape in two weeks.<br />
What am I thinking?<br />
What is the plan?<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Aerify greens with 5/8 inch hollow tines.</li>
<li>Topdress greens and make sure holes are completely filled "top to bottom" with sand. This is important because holes that are not filled correctly will be an agronomic problem. I will not bore you with details.</li>
<li>Use overseeder, with aggressive blades, to introduce a variety of the best creeping bentgrass cultivars available.</li>
<li>Roll greens.</li>
<li>Topdress lightly again which ensures smooth greens in two weeks.</li>
<li>Drag the greens again, using a light bristle brush to fill every hole and groove from aerifier and overseeder. It is important to have the correct amount of sand down right away or we will chase bumpy greens well after two weeks.</li>
<li>Apply appropriate wetting agents, fertilizers and plant protectants to facilitate turf recovery, root growth and seed germination.</li>
</ol>
<div>
So far so good!</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Fix your ballmarks because greens will be softer than you are used too!</li>
<ul>
<li>Ballmarks will be obvious</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</div>

We are preparing the greens for winter. All the greens have been aerified and plant protectants were applied yesterday. Today we are starting to apply our protective sand coating. Once a green has had the heavy layer of sand topdressing applied, it is closed for the season. Those holes will have temporary greens until Spring. We are trying to do as much as possible before the forecasted heavy rain hits today and tomorrow.<br />
