GOLF UPDATE

Mike Russell, PGA

Dear Gallery Members,

I hope everyone had a fantastic Holiday Season and were able to spend time with family and friends The Golf staff is looking forward to serving you and your guests in 2023! Please see below for our upcoming events

Thursday, January 5th - 9 and Wine

Sunday, January 22nd - Couples Event

February 2nd – 4th - The Gallery Cup

To sign up for these events and for more information, please go to ForeTees or call the Golf Shop

With peak season upon us I would like to share a few friendly reminders to help make your rounds more enjoyable, along with caring for the courses:

With rounds going up, we will be limiting to two golf carts per group to help ensure we do not run out of carts on a given day.

If you booked a starting time but don’t plan to use it, we kindly ask to cancel your reservation 24 hours in advance, so other Members can utilize the starting time.

Please obey the 90 degree golf cart rule.

Please keep golf carts 30 yards from the green.

To help ensure our greens and are as good as possible, please fix your ball marks.

Please fill in your divots with sand and seed mix.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Good Golfing, Mike

AGRONOMY UPDATE

Mark Soto

Happy New Year!!! January will be a very busy month for our agronomy team. To supplement the clean-up operations executed by Santa Rita Landscaping, our team will be addressing overgrowth surrounding all other nontournament tees and the perimeter edges of each hole. In addition, we will begin addressing walk-paths and tee entrance walk-ups. Decomposed granite will be added and compacted to each of these areas to both repair and reestablish their original design and function.

During the week of January 16th, preparations will begin to initiate the layout and construction of the hospitality tents throughout the course for the upcoming tournament. There will be significant cart and equipment traffic associated with this process, but we will be coordinating with this group daily to limit its overall impact to golfers.

Foliar fertility applications to fairways, tees and rough will be scheduled on 21-day intervals to promote plant health and enhance the overall aesthetic quality of the courses Greens fertility applications will continue to occur on a biweekly basis As most of you have noticed, there are several yellow or brownish colored patches on the greens on both the North and South courses

These “patches” are dormant Tifway 328 bermudagrass imbedded in the bentgrass canopy. After our first few frosts of the season, the bermudagrass is forced into dormancy and becomes easily identifiable.

This contamination is the result of years of encroachment occurring at the collar/green interface. Efforts to mitigate contamination will be ongoing for the next few months, which include sod replacement and pigments/paint to mute the color. Sod availability is limited to our nursery and putting green on the west end of the driving range. Although this is a short-term fix, to effectively remove all bermudagrass rhizomes (subterranean plant stems) from the greens cavity, the surfaces will need to be stripped of all turf, a soil fumigant added to sterilize the soil profile and new bentgrass seed planted.

As frost delays become more frequent, we will do our best to accurately assess the length of each delay, while allowing the start of the golf day to begin as quickly as possible.

As always, you can contact me directly by email (msoto@gallerygolf.com) or my direct line at (520) 572-8382.

Thank you, Mark

This month we also enjoyed making our own holiday wreaths made entirely out of ornaments with Antsy Nancy Crafts Everyone took home a beautiful handmade wreath that was FUN to craft We look forward to seeing Heidi with Antsy Nancy again in January where we will be etching and personalizing wine glasses!

At The Golf Club at Dove Mountain, we enjoyed a Holiday Dining & Shopping party in our Members' Grill on December 16th. It was a wonderful evening filled with friends, cheer, and caroling too. Santa also made a special appearance.

We look forward to hosting more fun events in the New Year!
