Syringing Greens

Syringing and handwatering greens are methods we use to maintain plant health through hot weather.  Syringing crews are deployed to monitor each green during the hottest part of the afternoon, and ensure that greens do not become heat stressed.  Trained crew members apply a light mist of water which cools the surface for a short time.  This misting can cool the surface by 10-15 degrees, but is a temporary condition usually lasting 15-20 minutes, and often must be repeated several times during a hot afternoon.  We appreciate your patience when crews are syringing during your round, and ask that you give them the right of way while they quickly syringe and maintain the health of your golf course.

Warm Dry Spring

After an abnormally warm and dry spring, the summer golf season is underway.  Staff is now shifting focus from spring projects to maintenance and grooming of the golf course.  The photos below document course happenings over the last few weeks.

Specimen Ash Trees treated for Emerald Ash Borer

All trees on the property have been tagged and inventoried by our Certified Arborist.  Tree health and recommendations for trimming will be included in a final report this fall.

Greens were "sliced" and sand top dressed on Tuesday 5/29.  Slicing allows for exchange of soil gases and improved water infiltration with minimal impact to ball roll.
