Rain

Well it took all spring but that nice slow all day rain finally moved in yesterday afternoon.  Our local soils needed that.  Increasing temperatures later this week should make plant growth explode.

Heritage irrigation is now all charged. Only 4 broken heads!

Starting the heritage irrigation today. Wish us luck

Opening day for greywalls! Enjoy

I held an orientation on Monday for all of our new grounds staff members who will be starting in the next few weeks.  It went very well, I feel we have a solid group of new guys ready to learn the job.
We started to solid tine the GW greens yesterday (picture above), it was our goal to finish up the last five greens today but this mornings lake effect snow storm has put a damper on that idea.

We were able to make repairs this week on the Greywalls irrigation system.  After start-up and a system audit we found one broken head (pictured above), one unresponsive decoder, one broken tee zone valve and one dead valve solenoid.  We also have a list of irrigation head angle adjustments that will be made in the coming weeks.

Thill is proud of his work......
We put the finishing touches on the hole where the trees were to the right of #4 green on GW. The area was backfilled, tamped, graded, seeded, fertilized and raked. We will rope it off from traffic for the next few months, by then it should be grown in and ready for play.
