What a great start to the spring weather! Hopefully it will continue into the summer. The new pond construction is well underway. All construction work should be finished by May 2nd. The restoration of the golf course (sod and seed) will take place the following week, weather permitting. I know it may be difficult but please try to keep off all new sod and seeded areas as much as possible. There will be marking flags all over the golf course indicating newly seeded areas from the grub damage. Last year was the first year we had grubs on the golf course which was directly related to the dry weather of last summer.

Our annual spring aeration of greens will also take place this month. Exact days have not been determined yet but will be posted in the pro shop a few days in advance. Thank you for your patience while we undertake the most important cultural program for our greens.

Unfortunately this nice weather has been good for the golfers but not so great for the turf. The lack of rain has slowed the new growth down so the course is taking longer to recover from the winter. The dam is finally closed and all irrigation broken during pond construction will be fixed this week so we will have irrigation again. This also means that the course washrooms will be open very soon.

If you have any questions pertaining to the golf course or just want to have a look around our maintenance facilities, stop by the maintenance building anytime.
