NATIVE AREAS

As you can see we are mowing all of the native areas on the golf course. We are finished mowing all of the wide open areas and now we are putting the finishing touches on this process. The final stage of the mowing process is the hand work. We are string trimming all of the high profile areas such as bunker faces and ditches. Once all of this is completed we will apply post and pre emergent weed control herbicides. These will help us control the weeds and should significantly improve our native areas.

NEW EQUIPMENT

We are proud to show off our new Fairway mowers. We purchased two John Deere 3235C fairway mowers. They are not brand new but they are quality used machines that came from the Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado. This addition to our equipment fleet will help us improve the fairway playing surface. Thank you Great Life Golf for helping us get these much needed machines into the equipment fleet at Staley Farms.

EQUIPMENT LIFT

We are proud of our new equipment lift in the turf care center. We installed it this week and it really looks great. It will allow Ken to be more precise and thorough with our equipment maintenence practices. It will also provide a safer and more efficient work environment.

SPRING IS HERE

We are mowing greens and cutting cups today. We will be removing the spare cups we cut in the greens for winter rotation today. There is some goose damage to some of the greens and we will be removing the damaged areas with cup cutters this week. All amenities will be returned to the course this week as well. Weather permitting we will rake bunkers later this week.
