Steven tidying up 4 green after spiking and rolling on 2/24/12

The weather earlier this week was awful.  Thankfully, on Wednesday afternoon the rain stopped.  Thursday was a beautiful day, and so far today is even better.  We were able to get the fairways mowed this week despite the 3.4 inches of consecutive from from last Thursday and until Wednesday of this week.  Being built on a sand dune definitely has its advantages.

This week, the tee yardage markers were edged, pot holes have been filled on gravel paths, tee marker restoration was initiated, height of a few sprinkler heads was adjusted, several wet areas were hand aerated with cup cutters and back filled with sand, the turf in the wet area between 5 green and the cart path was removed and capped with sand, and leveling of the area next to the cart path near 4 green was continued.  In addition, the greens, collars, approaches, tees, and fairways were all mowed.  The greens were also spiked and rolled.  It was a pretty productive week considering the foul weather we started off with.

Jerry worked on the wet area behind 5 green during our worst weather early in the week. He scraped off the soggy turf and capped the area with sand.  Once we accumulate some aeration cores, we will put cores and seed on the sandy slope in order to establish turf.
