Glen Eagle Maintenance (8/26/26)

 Another week of hot and dry. We are still seeing lower than normal rainfall for our area and are 6.35” short year-to-date. The forecast looks more favorable for some rain over the next 10 days but at this point, I’ll believe it when I see it 😂.

The heat and lack of rainfall along with continually having to use irrigation which is not as uniform and efficient as rain coverage have left us with a few hot spots, an unusual sight for August in Naples. Other than those few hot spots, the golf course is looking good.

5 Tee

18 Fairway

We did have one unexpected happening late last week. The tree on the corner of 1 fairway split off some old growth. We ended up cutting up most of what fell and put it into a pile off to the side temporarily. We are going to have a tree company come in next week and do the final cleanup plus trim/shape the tree since a big portion came off of one side. Over the long haul that will make the tree more stable and the bonus will be that it will open up the corner of the fairway a bit more.

Tees continue to progress towards opening on October 1st. There are few small spots that still have to fill in but overall they are doing very well. We have a weekly routine of topdressing, brushing and fertilizing that will have them ready to go for opening day. Here are a few videos of our process…

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