We have endured some damage after one of the harshest
winters on record. Fortunately, it’s limited to the fairways and did not affect
the greens and tees. We’ve started to
“slit seed” these fairways to begin the recovery process. These areas will be roped off for the next
several weeks. Please try to stay outside
the ropes as much as possible.
#16 Fairway- Notice the sharp contrast on grass in one of
the fairways. The sodded bentgrass
survived the winter, but the poa annua did not. The poa annua did not survive because of the
cold winter extremes and/or ice encasement.
Balta begins the recovery process of slit seeding these
areas. We are beginning to seed the
areas where all of the poa annua has died.
These areas appear more “white” than others.
