Last week I walked the entire course several times to inspect the turf so I would be able to update you on the current condition of the club. I am pleased to report that the turf has very minimal issues (very few snow mold spots in fairway), but nothing severe. Friday afternoon, we pulled back #2 green cover in the front (pictured above) and we were very pleased with the product underneath the cover. The turf appears to be healthy and free of any winter damage. This week, we will pull back a few other covers to inspect the greens (#13,#14,#17,etc.) to see what we're dealing with. I don't anticipate any issues, but want to see the greens first hand. Below I will summarize the work completed on the course since November 1 (start of the 2016 fiscal year).
- Planted 8 new trees
- Removed 30 trees
- Repair and Refurbish ALL course amenities (benches, ballwashers, bunker rakes, etc.)
- Service, Repair and Upgrade lighting on course equipment
- This Spring (March), we will grind out the remaining stumps on the course (40+)
- When weather allows, we will fill and seed ALL stumps that have been removed
- Spring Changes: Combine #2/#11 Fairway, Change/Expand #6 Fairway around Green, Bump #8 Fairway to the left and create a low mow area to the right of the green
Moving forward over the next couple weeks, we will get out and hand rake all the areas where extensive tree work was completed (#2/#11, #8, #14) to clean up all the sticks/debris that was left behind. Once the ground firms up, we'll get the remaining stumps ground out and will fill ALL the stumps with soil/seed and rope off. I am also in the process of getting a few bids to repair several cart path areas (#12, #18) and hopefully get those addressed sometime this Spring.
If there are any questions, please direct them to me. You can email me at nleu@fcomaha.net.
