It's that time of the season when the colours around the course start to pop. The apple trees are blooming, the tulips are out and the grass is greening up nicely.

Demoing a bunker machine to see if this would be a good addition to our equipment. They produce a nice smooth finish in the bunker but it can be a challenge to get in and out of the bunkers. We don't want to damage the edges of any of the bunkers.
We have started to clean up the edges of select tee decks. Squaring them up to make point down the fairways and removing unusable edges that are sloped. Over the years edges change, tee grasses (bent grass) bleeds into the rough and needs to be removed to clean everything up. All of these tees are on Homenuik. They have been realigned and edges sodded. We have also started on Thompson #4 and will continue on other select tees on the courses.
The recovery on the fairways is coming along well. We have seen all areas reduced and some fully recovered. We have been doing a mixture of venting (with a machine or by hand), overseeding, extra watering, and increased fertilization. The bentgrass on the fairway grows laterally and is filling in smaller areas. August is a perfect month for seed to finish growing in these areas, with cooler nights and reasonable temperature days recovery will continue.
