June has arrived! June is an exciting month for many reasons First and foremost, we should consistently be at the magic 150 number for Agronomy Translation, the grass is officially growing and it's game on

The second half of April and first half of May set us back on some of the programs and commitments made Our greens sod, and spot sod work were delayed due to some very unfriendly weather However, we pushed through and can now continue addressing some of the other areas in need of some sod work. Although originally delayed, we did manage to get out our initial summer pre-emerge and fertilizer application Throughout the month and the rest of the growing season we will continue our tee and fairway nutritional sprays with our PGR products every three weeks

Our first core aerification of the year is scheduled to start June 20th During this time, we will be core aerifying greens, tees, and fairways. I understand this isn’t a popular practice but is vital to the overall health of the turf. Projects should be in full swing. There are several projects scheduled to start in June such as the renovation of the bridge on hole #12. The installation of a new bulkhead on hole #14. The installation of the Sox lake bank erosion control system on hole #17. Other projects hopefully completed by June but may have carried over are bridge renovations to the two walk bridges along the entrance road and to the small bridge at #16 tees, landscape enhancements to the pool area, and the installation of new flag poles and the renovation of the circular island at the entrance to the clubhouse.

So, I’ll end as I began in this message, June is an exciting month for many reasons, and it is a true privilege to be a part of the Escalante Golf and Black Hawk Country Club family. On behalf of myself and our Agronomy team, we thank you for your patience and continued support.
