Today we will finish up topdressing on the aerated greens. First time I can remember aerating and topdressing in a snowstorm. And for that I want to give kudos to my small crew that for some reason keeps showing up to work in 35 degrees/35 mph wind. It has not been pleasant to finish up our spring aeration session but thanks to my crew we will get it done as scheduled.
As greens start to heal up from aerification, we will start to focus more on putting quality and you should see a noticeable improvement in the next couple of weeks. The rest of the course has just been sitting there for the past three weeks with the weather we have had. At one point we were ahead of schedule and now the turf seems to be at or behind what is normal for late April. But that is not unusual for spring in Nebraska and we really don't see our turf doing much until we get into May. The next 3 weeks should see much improvement in that regard.
There has been a delay in the VFD that controls our new irrigation motor due to supply chain issues but we are happy to report that it is now installed and we will start programming it today. Super excited for this upgrade.
So while it has been a little bit of a trying aerification season, we are certainly excited for the upcoming golf season and are expecting great conditions.
