Buck hanging out around the pump station

This week the greens, approaches, fairways, and tees were fertilized. The greens were top dressed and brushed. The sprinkler heads in the fairways were edged. The grass around the bunkers was trimmed. Additionally, all turf areas were mowed at there normal frequency for the time of year.

Buck near 18 tees with an egret flying over head

You may have to zoom in on the picture above to see the subject matter I was attempting to capture. The shot is from the tee area on hole 16. If you look just above the flag stick on 17 green, you can see the same buck from the picture at the top of this post. To the right of the buck is an egret (white heron).

The aeration holes in the greens have healed beautifully. Except for the ones that cutworms have made their homes. The video above shows a cutworm out of its hole munching on some grass blades on hole 16. Once the cutworm in the video noticed I was there it went back into its hole pretty quickly. It is not a huge problem, but there are a few cutworms on each green. We are taking care of this problem, and holes should be healing up soon.
