This past week May 4-11

Well it was another busy week on the course.  We still only have three of us on the crew but we managed to get the whole course mowed. we got everything done that needed to get done before the weekend like getting cups changed, doing the trash and water coolers.  We also sprayed the lake for algae and put some dye in them to try and prevent it.  It rained again on thursday so the course is still soaked.  Next week looks nice until thursday and friday when it is suppose to rain again.

April 30-may 4

Well I haven't posted in a few days. We have been very busy at work trying to keep up with the grass in between the rains. Did some more spraying for weeds and sprayed greens with fungicide for the first time of the year. We had some dollar spot pop up the the warm weather and wet conditions. We mowed fairways for the first time of the year last week. Other than that it is just us trying to keep up with everything that has to get done. We still only have 3 guys on the crew so it is everything we can do to keep up. We also got another 2.75 inches yesterday of rain. I posted pictures of some clover I sprayed and what it looked like a day later. The brown spot on the green is our first dollar spot of the year. I hate that shit.

April 29

Today was a good days work. Mowed greens first thing in the morning then changed the pins. It warmed up nice in the afternoon to about 80 degrees. Sprayed another full tank in the sprayer for weeds today. Targeting some areas that we got clover and dandelions pretty bad. Many are off the actual course but we still don't want them. Tomorrow spraying fungicides on the greens for the first time of the year.

Weekend April 28 and 29

Saturday was a wash out work for about 4 hours doing little thing like picking balls on the range and cleaning some stuff up.  Sunday was a long day. The power was out for 2 hours in the morning and since the battery was dead on the sand pro we couldnt get it started without the power.  So after the power came on we rake the bunker that werent full of water.  We had a tournament go off at 2 and worked all through that, then cleaned up afterward.  It turned out to be a 13 hour day and I am pooped. now off to bed

April 26

Busy day today. Mowed tee boxes and all the greens. Changed the cups and did some weed eating. Also sprayed a little more for weeds. Everything is ready for what hopefully is a busy weekend. O ya and it rained again and is suppose to rain tonight.

april 25

Spent the morning fixing cart paths.  We had frost on the course this morning, but then by noon it was 65 degrees.  After cart paths were finished I spent the rest of the day on the sprayer spraying for weeds. Also had a run in with 2 coyotes today and I almost smashed them with the bucket of the tractor.

april 23

More rain today.  Got to work at 7 and it started raining at 730 and hasn't stopped since.  I hope we can get this much rain in the middle of summer.  Plans for tomorrow are to fix some cart paths, finish mowing the rough if it isn't to wet, and do some more weedeating.
