The Bunkers were edged, weeded, rocks removed, depth of sand checked, and raked.
Where the sand was too deep it was removed, and where it was too shallow, new sand was added.

XGD Greens Drainage on #5 and #10
XGD™ System (Existing Greens Drainage) is a procedure developed by TDI Golf in which a subsurface drainage system is installed to remove surface water more rapidly and lower the water table in the green, thereby improving turf growth. The procedure has gained a lot of recognition and popularity in the turf industry. The XGD™ system is an excellent method of improving the subsurface drainage of an existing green - without rebuilding the green.
The XGD™ system is a permanent solution to poorly drained and compacted greens, leading to increased aeration and the removal of excess moisture. The result is a revived green without the need for expensive and disruptive reconstruction. No other system minimizes the disruption to the green as XGD™ does, which ensures the surface is back in play as soon as possible.
For more in formation on the process or a list of Golf Courses in our area that have also completed internal drainage, please go to the XGD website www.greensdrainage.com

Aerification
It is that time of year again!On April 5 the Greens were aerified, deep verticut, and topdressed heavy.
Elm Tree Stump
The Elm Tree stump on number nine was removed using a large excavator with a rock hammer. After the stump was removed the Rock Outcropping was highlighted by cleaning up the surrounding soil.
Wet #2 Fairway
The above normal rainfall during the end of March left several Fairways extremely wet. Number two Fairway was probably the most extreme, causing the entire hole to be roped off. The first cut had to be done with a Triplex Mower.
