GOLF AT THE GALLERY

Agronomy Update

Mark Soto

Dear Gallery Members,

During the month of February, expect to see a significant increase in activity with regards to the upcoming LIV Golf tournament. Hospitality tent structures and camera towers will be constructed in various locations throughout the South Course. Desert de-vegetation and site-line clearing efforts are nearly complete. One of the major items occurring during the month is the removal of the bermudagrass contamination from our bentgrass green surfaces. Contamination removal will focus primarily on those areas of the greens where pins are typically located to provide for a more consistent, puttable surface.

Perimeter edging of each hole is scheduled to commence to hopefully deliver a more clean and defined desert/grass interface, similar to the tees. Anticipate continued fertility efforts consisting of both granular applications and foliar applications throughout the month on both the North and South Courses Walk-path re-grading and repair is underway Once completed, walk-paths and tee edges will be capped with decomposed granite and compacted rth Course fairways, approaches and roughs ll treated with Prograss to mitigate existing nua pressure Subsequent applications of t (growth regulation) will be applied to e poa populations through spring Clean-up continue on hole 12 and will move to the wash e 2 when completed ays, you can contact me directly by email @gallerygolf com) or my direct line at (520) 382
