For the crew it has been a straight forward week with most of the focus on clean up and prep. The greens in play have been mowed twice, top dressed and rolled. As in the past, the height of cut (H.O.C.) is suitable for the time year and weather conditions. As things warm up and we get on a regular fertility program the H.O.C. with change accordingly. The biggest hurdle for the greens now will be working out the ruts and humps from the deep tine aeration at the end of last year. There is still snow on the course that may interfere with play but hopefully people understand how the weather (my favourite crutch!) has had an impact on clean up. The good news is all the front nine greens are in play and suffered no damage this winter.
It suppose to be sunny this weekend so come out and get reacquainted with people and the course and be thankful there is no snow in the forecast.
