Course update

With all of the beautiful weather the area is experiencing the golf course is absolutely wonderful. The great temperature has really kicked the grass into an aggressive growth mode. To ensure the playability stays very high I also have to increase the mowing and agronomic practices to combat the intense growth rate. My team employs tactics like double cutting, grooming and even spraying specialty chemicals to slow the growth down. Because I have been babying the course all winter and now have begun to slowly increase the agronomic practices, you might see some slight scalping in the turf in areas where it has become thatchy and/or puffy. This is only a temporary aesthetic issue. The Celebration will grow out of the scalped look in a day or two.
