A really good productive week on the courses with some quieter player days on course which allows us to get a lot of work done uninterrupted. Tuesday gave the opportunity to spot spray weeds in all fairways with a boom spray and both courses were completed which I don't recall ever being able to do that in a day. Kikuyu and Blue Couch were the two main targets and a follow up spray will be required. There will be a bit of yellowing appearing in the treated areas as the weeds die off.
We also continued some knapsack spot spraying on fairways predominantly targeting Crowsfoot, although just about any rogue weed was spotted. The boys doing this have done a great job over the summer controlling the array of weeds that have appeared following the last years first flood which was a ''dirty'' one. The fairways are as clean as I can remember them being.
Crowsfoot on the way out. |
We have been having issues with water flow from the irrigation system to the short range and practice greens area for a while and it has gotten worse to the point we need to start digging up. Unfortunately where we need to dig is just at the bottom of the River practice green right in the middle of the path. The work is planned for Monday so please bear with us while we get it done.
Couldn't pick a busier spot.
The blog will take a break for a few weeks while I have some leave so will be back soon.
