May 18, Snow vs Asphalt Work

Have you noticed a theme in the last 3 posts?  All the titles include the over used word snow.

May 18, 2011 snow on #3

This is a photo I took this morning that tells the story on all the projects I outlined in my last post.  Time has not stopped but the work on the road asphalt has.  Asphalt work on repairing cart path cracks is being done in the snow, (workers working stay warm while breaking up old asphalt).  The cracks are being cut open to about a foot, and then asphalt will be put down when it is warm enough.  In the mean time carts will travel across these areas on base rock.

The turf is handling the snow well. In fact, the grass plant growth will take off when sunshine is back.  On Wednesday we are planning on beginning a 3 day process of applying fertilizer to all playing surfaces except greens and tees, which were done last week.  On Thursday, we will be applying liquid fertilizer and growth regulators to the fairways, completing the application we did last week to greens and approaches.
