Sunny and 75

Daytime and nighttime temperatures are becoming conducive for turf growth, and with the soil temps also on the rise, it is time for our annual Pre-emergent herbicide application for weed control. The sparged fertilizer will provide a slow and steady Nitrogen source for the turf to feed on throughout the upcoming months. The main weeds this product will provide control for include crabgrass and goosegrass, as well as some other pesky summertime weeds.

In the coming weeks, we will begin sodding areas around enter and exit stakes that would have more than likely had a poor transition due to heavy shade/traffic. Some of you may have already noticed this work taking place on Marshwood earlier this month. As always, these areas will be marked G.U.R. so that they do not affect play.

In an effort to become more efficient, the staff here at Marshwood and Magnolia is going to revive our nursery area located next to the sparrow field. This area is fully irrigated and will provide us immediate access to all cultivars of turf that can be found on our courses.
