TEE IT UP THE VALLEY VOICE PAGE 11

There are many ways to describe a golf course in the spring. The terms “a work in progress”, “turf interrupted”, and “to be continued” come to mind. I recently had a colleague describe his course a “13 year old awkward kid with braces”.Having had a daughter of my own, in her early teens, with braces, this metaphor hit home for me My daughter has grown into a lovely 15 year old young lady, with beautiful straight teeth Fortunately most children only have to go through that type of transition once The golf course seems to do it every spring The fairways, tees, and greens all turn green They are green, but not quite lush and beautiful, and the rough just doesn’t seem to know what to do Some areas of the rough turn green while others still look dormant Different varieties of Bermuda grass around the course become evident as they all come out of dormancy at different levels of vigor All analogies and metaphors aside, it is my least favorite time of year on the course. Some areas look great while others simply struggle. The good news is everything starts to come together toward the end of May and the first part of June. When night time temperatures stay around 60°F and daytime temps hit 80°F or higher is when our course truly comes to life.

We were fortunate to have adequate rainfall toward the end of April and the first part of May The rain helped the course grow and green up Proper fertilization, and aerification has helped as well We will be sodding a few areas around the greens, but fortunately not nearly as much as we first thought when assessing in early April The biggest challenge with our collars is traffic in the winter If we roll the greens frequently, to keep the greens smooth and fast as possible, the areas where we stop and turn with the roller tend to show damage in the spring It is a vicious cycle If everything works as planned we should be looking great by the end of May

Spring/summer annuals are coming soon! Look for some updates in the landscaped areas around the clubhouse. Several of the greens have new irrigation heads already installed and more are on the way. The cart path project is still scheduled for July, and we plan to do more bunker work this fall. We have laid the groundwork for a beautiful summer at the Valley and a great golfing season. Remember to stay hydrated as it gets warmer Get out there and enjoy our beautiful golf course!
