On The Course with Scott Hillyard This is the time of year superintendents begin to reflect on the past season and assess. This has been quite the year with significant weather variations. We have had wet periods, dry periods, and grossly humid periods. We have been presented with many challenges along the way, from drought conditions, to the worst disease exposure we have encountered in my time here. But despite that, I am of the opinion we had a very successful summer with excellent playing conditions. I see no reason at this point that fall golf won t be just as good. On a different note, moving forward in October, this is a time for projects and building plant health. Fertilizers are applied in the fall months to recover from summer stress and build health heading into winter, and aerification practices are implemented to aid in gas exchange, improve water infiltration and nutrient uptake, improve rooting, and help firm up surfaces. We plan to once again use the Vertiquake in the fairways for aerification. This machine helps to shatter soil which, over time will help with all the above listed benefits. On the tees and approaches we have utilized a dethatcher to remove some of the organic matter build up as well as aerify to remove and dilute the same organic matter. This is not an overnight process to firm up these areas, but requires a commitment to a sustained program over the long term. Mowing of the native/fescue areas began in September, as well as herbicide applications for the control of broadleaf weeds. If we have time to fit it in, we will also undertake some smaller drainage projects in the chronically wet areas. I ask that you have patience when encountering some of these activities. The work we complete between now and Thanksgiving are what set the stage for next golf season. Enjoy this time of year and play some golf. Thank you for a great golf season and we are looking forward to an exciting fall as well.
