GOLF COURSE MAINTENANCE UPDATE
‘NEWS LETTER’
AUGUST 2010
Dear Member / Property Owner,
Following on from the ‘The Golf Course Superintendents News Letter’ sent to you in June which was designed to keep you up to date with all of the important maintenance procedures which were scheduled to take place on The Indiana course in July, we are pleased to be able to give you an update on the works carried out and to inform you of the schedule of works which shall take place in August 2010.
JULY COURSE MAINTENANCE UPDATE
Fungicide Spraying
The preventative fungicide spraying program of all grass areas was completed as per the schedule.
Hand Watering
The programme of hand watering of the greens and tees commenced as per the schedule.
Putting Green Irrigation Changes
The initial preparatory planning and marking out of the new irrigation system has been completed. Installation work is scheduled to take place during the week commencing 23rd August.
AUGUST COURSE MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME
Fungicide Spraying
The preventative fungicide spraying program of all grass areas will continue during August. This safeguard helps protect the course against strong summer turf grass diseases. Signs will be placed on fairway 1, green surround 1 and 9th tee, to remind all players that spraying is in progress. The reception staff will also advise players before play when spraying is in progress. Please remember to wash your hands after play.
Hand Watering
Throughout the summer months hand watering of greens and tees will take place. Please be advised that this is an essential part of summer maintenance. Hand watering cannot be stopped during play for this reason.
Putting Green Irrigation Changes
The existing irrigation layout for the Putting Green is unable to maintain uniform irrigation coverage for the greens surface, resulting in undesired dry patch areas. Changing to the planned sprinkler head spacing will alleviate this problem. Trenching work will be carried out outside normal playing hours to help keep disruption to a minimum.
Greens Hollow Coring Dates For 2010
In the knowledge that all property owners and members need to have as much notice as possible concerning particular aspects of the golf course maintenance schedule that may temporarily effect the playing conditions of the greens surface, thus enabling them to plan particular holidays accordingly, please see below the remaining scheduled coring dates for 2010.
2010
November 8th & 9th
This particular program is an essential part of golf course maintenance. This practice creates the required environment for strong vigorous roots to grow, the very essence of golf course maintenance.
You will be able to keep up to date with the full tournament and social schedule, format and any additions, information of how to enter, and much, much more by visiting either our official website www.almanzora.com or alternatively, reading the notice boards in both the Men’s and Ladies locker rooms in the Clubhouse whilst at the Resort.
We and the staff at Desert Springs are looking forward to seeing you on The Indiana course in the near future.
