Glen Eagle Maintenance (10/5/23)

 Golf Course

We ended September with 3.04” of rainfall. That is well below 17.31” in 2022 and 11.4” in 2001. Our yearly rainfall total thru 9/30/23 is 31.5”, 38.08” behind 2022 and 29.23” behind 2021. As our “rainy” season comes to an end our chance of catching up has all but come to an end.

In addition to the dry weather, it has also been an extremely hot year. Hotter, drier weather means more irrigation use and evaporation of water from the ponds. This graphic illustrates how hot this year has been. These are the total average monthly temperatures (high temp minus low temperature each day, added together and divided by number of days in the month).

Even though it has been a year of extremes, you wouldn’t really know based on how the course looks. This picture shows green grass and blue skies over #1 this morning, just like we like it.

Facilities

Carpet Cleaning in the activities center was completed this past Monday, a task that I don’t remember happening in my 4 plus years at Glen Eagle. Next Monday we will have the Pro Shop, Divot Rugs & Fitness Center carpets cleaned. Reminder, the gym will close at 11am on Monday and reopen Tuesday morning. 

We also had the windows of all the buildings washed. I wasn’t able to get a picture of the it but it looks really good.

Hector worked on the bocce area this week by installing the 6 new bocce benches and cleaned the court numbers while he was at it.








And last but certainly not least, Hector cleaned and painted the Divot lanai. A huge improvement from…

Before





And…

After





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!
