Grass germination in bunkers

Two weeks ago we aerated and seeded the perimeter cuts around greens. During this operation we had issues keeping seed out of SOME greenside bunkers because of wind. We are seeing a very successful germination in all areas seeded and unfortunately germination of the seed that was blown into the bunkers. We are starting today the removal of this grass.

Overseeding Fairways

This week we will begin overseeding the fairways. We have been committed to completing this task for the last 3 years, so the areas needing to be overseeded is becoming less and less, even with the summer we had this year.

To remain as efficient as possible, we have created GPS maps of all the areas that are in need of overseeding. These maps are given to the operate, so it is very clear as to where the seed must be placed. As with the other areas of the course, the seed will need to be syringed to ensure a successful establishment. We will post syringe schedules both on here and in the proshop.

I will follow up with some video and additional post of our progress.

A Different Perspective

The link below is to a video by the USGA that was sent out in their Region Update this week. Although difficult to stomach for any agronomist, it really puts things in perspective. The link to this video is below.
