Looking good!

The newly renovated bunker on #1 is looking good.  Now that the sod has had a chance to establish itself Alex has taken down the ropes that were directing traffic.  The area has been mowed and it really looks nice.

Deep Tine Aerification

Today we are doing a deep tine aerification and heavy top dress on all of our greens.  While the process is disruptive for a short time, the long term benefits to the health of the greens far outweigh the inconvenience.




Here is a link to the top dressing page on our website: http://www.lakevalleygolf.com/groundstopdress.htm

GREEN

It's amazing how fast things begin to green up with a week of temperatures on the 70's and 80's.  Last week at this time the fairways were still brown and dormant.


At the same time, the red bud trees are busting out, bradford pears and showing their white blooms, and the dogwoods won't be far behind.   Spring is about 4 weeks earlier than usual.
