Glen Eagle Maintenance (5/5/23)

 


Golf Course

Last week we applied insecticide to keep mole crickets, grubs and ants from tearing up the course. Since we were spraying anyways, I added foliar fertilizer and plant growth regulators to the mix and I can see both doing their job. The fertilizer has kept us nice and green while the PGR has provided uniformity to the growth of the turf.

Mrs. Dolin sent me this picture of the new flowers on #9. They really have turned out nice!


The rest of the course is looking pretty good too…



Common Grounds

There haven’t been many major common ground projects in a while. This is primarily because we want to wait until there is consistent rain before we add any new plant material.That will prevent us from having to hand water to get is established. We will be working on more projects during the summer and into next fall.

Facilities

The facilities department never stops though. Below are some of the more picture worthy repairs and replacements that Hector had going on this week.

Replaced leaking faucet in the kitchen
 


Replaced sticking faucet in the Activities Center ladies room



Painted scraped up post at Radio Road entrance



Replaced broken latch at the divot… sorry, no after picture, you’ll have to trust me 😁


And repaired a leak behind the light in the pool. Wait, that wasn’t Hector but it was repaired none the less. 😂


I look forward to seeing everyone on the course or in the facilities, and as always, if you have any questions, flag me down or shoot me an email. I always enjoy talking turf and facilities too!
