Last night someone had a little accident and ran over the yardage sign on the back of the driving range. It didn't hurt the sign, I just hope it didn't hurt their cart, or even worst, them.

We finally got our fertilizer injector working again after not being able to get the needed repair parts for the last couple of months and started injection iron last night. By injecting just iron (without any fertilizer) we can keep the nice green color without getting the spurt of growth, which has been causing us headaches trying to keep the rapidly growing grass mowed down.

We really need to make sure we’re all fixing ball marks. We have noticed a large amount of unrepaired ball marks in recent weeks. Thanks everyone!

Tomorrow morning we will lightly top-dress the greens to fill in all the ball marks. It will be interesting to see if we can top-dress less often or not, now that we have the new rollers.

Hooray, We got our new greens rollers in yesterday and hooked them up and rolled the greens this morning. Here is a picture of them in action.

I played golf yesterday with a friend of mine that is visiting from Canada. His name is Keith Brownlee and he is the Assistant Superintendent at the Royal Colwood Country Club in Victoria. It was nice to get out and play again, as I haven't played in almost a month. (I actually played quite well). Both Keith and I thought the coursed played well. The fairways were nice and greens held the shots and putted smooth and true. There were some things that I saw out there that needed improving, such as some rough mowing, but all in all, the course played pretty well.

I see we still have some birds picking at a couple of the greens, so I guess we didn't get all the cutworms. We will re-spray them Wednesday morning.

I also finally heard from Juanita that the Fish and Wildlife Services have not cashed our application fee check for the coot depredation permit yet. Which means we shouldn't expect the permit to show up anytime soon. Regardless, several of us that are involved are having a meeting on Monday March 19th to discuss how we are going to proceed once we do get the permit.
