On Course

Turf conditions on a tour of the south end of the golf course were similar to the north.  Tees and greens look great with only superficial snow mold on some fairways and some isolated turf loss in low areas of fairways.

  These are photos of the forward tee on #16.  Again you can see the difference between treated and un-treated turf.  There is a perfect rectangle around the tee.

Another notable item from my walk was how the leveling of the rough that we did 2 1/2 years ago has held up.  These photos are of the left rough on #11 (new).  You will notice how the fairway has mild frost heaving will the rough has virtually none.  The frost heaving this year is overall a lot milder but there is still a noticable difference.

This is more Vole damage located between the practice green and the cart path the goes to the practice tee.

I wanted to share some follow-up pictures of the Oak that was removed on #18. You can see the extent of the decay that has taken place inside the tree.

 

These are more photos of trees that we removed this last month. I will let them speak for themselves.
