While the pace of maintenance activities slows a bit this time of year, the team is still busy preparing for 2020. On the greens, Snow Mold protection has been applied, along with a plant growth regulator to reduce the Poa seeds next spring.
Most areas of the golf course are receiving their Crabgrass pre-emergent herbicide application. Taking care of this now, will allow us to focus on other tasks during the busy upcoming spring.
One of the other jobs we tackle when it's cold is sodding the damaged cart path ends. While there will be little foliar growth during the winter, the sod is able to root without any stress.
As always, we have to work with what Mother Nature gives us. But regardless of the weather or season, there is plenty of work to be done.
