Seeded lines in #8 Fairway |
It is that time of year where fall is quickly approaching and many golf courses have already begun fall projects, and most have started and some have even completed their Aerification practices. Our greens aerification will not take place for another two weeks, we plan to aerify our greens the week of October 1st.

Seed coming in on #14 Fariway |
In the mean time we are over-seeding the fairways to help improve our overall density. This time of year is great for growing grass because the soil is still warm, but temperatures are cool, giving plants a much needed break from the summer. This time of year we should get a good months worth of growing weather before it gets cold and plants really slow down.

Seed filling in, in a bare area |
By the end of this week all of the fairways will have been seeded, we are seeing germination and growth in less then seven days, and are happy with the results so far. As our fairways mature over the next four to six weeks we will be in better shape to start next years golf season.
Respectfully,
Golf Course Superintendent
