How to Practice

To save what precious little hitting space we have, everyone has the responsibility to practice in a way that will minimize healing time. The pictures to the right say it all.......

Poa

We are starting to see the existing poa annua flower. This directly coincides with seed production, with each poa plant producing 80 viable seeds per plant on average. Therein lies the problem in controlling this pest in an environment that supports it growth for 8 months of the year. The upside is that many of the thin areas around the course will soon begin to fill-in and playing conditions will improve. Unfortunately, poa is a true annual and will begin to die as summer arrives.

El Nino is finally here

The first real rains of this years El Nino have finally arrived packing some punch. We were fortunate to be able to prepare as forecasters were very accurate on the time and amount that these first few storms would deliver. Tuesday we received 1.35" and Wednesday we got another 2.10". Understandably, the course is very wet, with surface water still draining at this moment.
