Time to Feed the Grass

Due to fertilization, the golf course will be closed the afternoon of February 2nd. There will be an 8:00 shotgun that morning for anyone wanting to golf that day. 

Spring time is not too far off in the distance which means the grass is going to be looking for nutrients and weed seeds are going to germinate. This scheduled application combines a controlled release fertilizer with a pre-emergent herbicide. The fertilizer component is designed to release a small amount of nutrients systematically each week to provide the grass with a consistent food source over a longer period of time. Using controlled release fertilizer is also better for the environment my minimizing the amount of soluble nutrients prone to leaching or runoff. The pre-emergent herbicide component helps to minimize the number of weeds that germinate and grow on the golf course.

For the sake of efficiency and precision of this application an outside contractor will be here to apply the fertilizer Monday afternoon. This sometimes results in tire tracks left by the spreader truck. We will work to repair any tracks but if you happen to find your ball in one feel free to take relief without penalty.
