  April comes to a close with the weather finally cooperating with us, as temperatures are climbing and rain has been infrequent, until yesterday. The Golf Course Maintenance team is making great strides to get the new course ready for play. Highlights from the month include: The driving range is established enough to open on a regular basis. We will continue to have players remain on the mats until the zoysia has greened up and is actively growing. We have finished grading, seeding, sodding and installing erosion protection throughout the new course. The asphalt milling cart paths are completed. 15,000 square yards of tall fescue sod has been installed. We've started making post-emergent applications for broadleaf weeds (important to note that pre-emergent herbicides could not be used since we are still adding seed to many of these areas this spring). The new putting greens are being frequently top dressed with sand to aid in getting them even more smooth.
