Kyllinga...

A funny name to a persistent and ever growing weed problem here at the OP. The first post emerge application of sulfentrazone was applied Wednesday. You will begin to notice some brown spots in the fairways and on the teeing surfaces as we battle this weed.

Be sure to looks this guy up...

Welcome to our friend on holes 12/13. This bald eagle has been hanging around  for the past few weeks. The squirrel population has been shrinking steadily. Be sure to look him up the next time you're in the area.

Latitude sprigs on #18.

It's been a busy month, sorry for the delay in posting. The golf course has come a long way in recovering from the storm and heat of July. Here, we at trying out the latest and greatest bermudagrass for this region. We aerated and saved the plugs from #5 approach and then spread them in this low area of #18 fairway. We ran over them with a spiker to try and get better soil contact. This will be a great test for how this grass performs in low lying areas.
