As of Friday morning (April 11) the golf course is open for play! We’re starting the season out with 5 temporary greens- all of which received extensive winter damage. The specific greens are #3, #7, #8, #13 and #17. We’re working very hard at getting those greens back in playing condition as soon as possible, and will update that progress here as much as we can. These greens are currently covered so that we can keep them warmer, which will expedite the growing process. We’re in the process of verticutting, seeding, fertilizing, and topdressing them as well. Here are a few pictures of the damage as well as the work we are doing.
Here’s #7 soon after we discovered the damage. This green has the most damage of all of them.
Here’s #13- showing some of the work we’re doing to facilitate growth. Thirteen has the least amount of damage.
We’ll add more pictures as time passes. Please ask any questions you may have, we’ll gladly answer and explain our methodology and process.
Take care,
The Keepers
