This coming Monday July 15th will be three weeks since the greens were last aerified. The putting surfaces have smoothed out nicely and are now beginning to gain speed. Management to this turf still continues.
On Monday we will be double vertical cutting the greens, to help keep the grain and thatch under control. From there, the greens will be double cut, top dressed-lightly, double rolled, sprayed with fertilizer and a growth regulator. These are a few of the ultimate steps in getting the putting surfaces to rolling smoothly and rolling out.
These steps will be repeated on weekly or bi-weekly pending on the putting speeds and performances plus monitoring the root system for new growth. My goal is to provide nice greens for all of the members here at Willow Fork Country Club and to provide a nice golf course overall as well.
THANK ALL OF YOU FOR BEING A MEMBER OF WILLOW FORK COUNTRY CLUB!
