Pre emergent 2014

Its been a crazy year for weather and the course has really taken a beating thanks to the snow, ice, and rain. Its been difficult to find a dry day on the course to get out pre emergent application out but this week has proven to be a stellar one.

With the January thaw coming a month late and temps in the high 60's, its been a perfect combination of weather conditions for us to get out on the course spraying and next week looks great as well. We have currently sprayed all of our fairways, collars and greens surrounds and will be moving onto the rough and tee complexes. To date we have applied around 60 acres of our roundup/pre emergent mix over this past week. A huge accomplishment considering the past months worth of weather.

We are also adding additional sand to the bunkers on the course. We selected and started with the green side bunkers that lacked the most sand and will continue through the course once our sand orders arrive over the next week.
