Glen Eagle Maintenance (9/16/26)

A Good Week for Rain—and Maintenance

We’ve had a bit more consistent rainfall over the past week, recording 3.11 inches in total. Only one of those rain events produced more than an inch, which is just about perfect. It gives the course a good soaking without leaving us with the “too much of a good thing” scenario that can lead to poor playing conditions and more difficult maintenance.

This week, we are closed for our final maintenance closure of 2026. Our primary focus will be greens aerification, sand injection of the greens (https://youtu.be/n4b_tkB1b80?si=zGLnF_fimianO1Km), and several additional project items around the course. These maintenance closures give us an important opportunity to tackle work that is difficult to complete while the course is open and being played every day.

Here is a quick video showing some of the work that went on earlier this week…

We also worked on painting the tee markers. This proved to be a lot of work (we have close to 150 tee markers) but well worth it, while not quite new, a huge improvement and should look great against our newly re-grassed tees…

New setup for cold towels at 5 tee…

Last bridge (for 2026) re-decked…

The Davis entrance median landscape improvements are also progressing nicely. Most of the removals are now complete, and we’re continuing to move forward with the improvements. It’s exciting to see the area beginning to take shape, and we look forward to seeing the finished product.

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!
