Important Notice - Chipco Choice Application on Monday, June 18

Each year we make a preventative application to control mole crickets on the golf course. What are mole crickets? Mole crickets are large insects that can be very disruptive to turfgrass. If not controlled, they can completely destroy acres of turf having a detrimental effect on aesthetics and playability.

One of the products we use to prevent mole cricket outbreaks is Chipco Choice. (This product also controls fire ants.) When possible, we schedule our preventative Chipco Choice application to coincide with the golf course being closed to prevent disruption to golfers. Unfortunately, our scheduled application date was two weeks ago and was rained out. An outside contractor is required to make the application which means we have to reschedule to fit within their available dates.

The contractor will be here on Monday, June 18 and Tuesday, June 19 to make the application. The work will consist of tractors driving up and down the golf course to cover basically every square foot of the property except for the greens. We will do our best to work them around play but you may experience a few interruptions during your round on Monday. If you do, please allow them to move out of your way before playing your shot.

After the application is made, you may notice grooves cut into the turf. In most situations, these should be minor and not affect play. If for some reason there is a more significant impact, you are allowed to confer with your group to determine if relief should be granted.
