Saturday (12.28.19) UPDATE

We ask that those walking today on Weiskopf do not tee off until after 11am.

Thank you,
JA




We will probably have a frost hold Saturday morning, before temperatures reach the 40s/50s.  Please look to this site and for a Zingle to any delays.


JA

Course Conditions (12.27.19)

We will allow walkers on the Weiskopf Course today.

Please be mindful to replace all divots and repair all ball marks.  The turf is not actively growing, despite the current temperatures, and the divots and ball marks that are not repaired in December will stay with us until spring.

We are without continuous cart paths due to work street work on #s 12-13 Weiskopf and #5 Devlin, please exercise caution.

The range is to remained closed.

Course Conditions (12.26.19)

With the unseasonably warm weather; we will allow walkers to play to the temporary greens on the Devlin Course (1-6, 9, and 17-18).  A safety reminder that the bridge is out on #5 while we work on its replacement.

We are hopeful to allow walkers on Weiskopf wither later today or tomorrow; there are still areas of snow coverage and frozen turf.

As a reminder:  the range is closed for the remainder of the season, we will not be setting it up with balls and it is unable to be picked.

JA

Course Conditions (12.24.19)

Due to the ground still being frozen we will be forced to keep both courses closed.  Ground temperatures take longer to warm than air temperatures and we do not want to run the risk of long term damage.  We are hopeful that with a longer warm period that we can allow walking on either course. 

Just a reminder that we are working on replacing the bridge on #5 Devlin and it is currently out.

Thank you and this department and myself wish everyone a happy holiday.

JA

#5 Devlin

We will be working on a replacement bridge on #5 Devlin and I do not think that this will be a quick project.  For members who walk the courses in the winter, please use cation in this area.

JA

Course Update

Not the best photo we've taken however, soil temperatures are in the 30s, and most likely lower in shaded or low areas.  This is the temperature in which damage can occur beneath the surface.  Even though the sun may be out and air temps may be in the 40s, ultimately it is the soil temperature is what dictates if/when we can allow play.

2019 Recap (Part 2)

In looking at this past season, we can not be successful without the guys that do the "heavy lifting" on a daily basis.  We have embraced the philosophy of accuracy by volume when it comes to staffing.  To this point below are a few numbers from 2019:

*The most crew members that we had on staff at any given day was 28 on June 25th.

*At the height of the season we had 42 individuals on payroll.

*From January 1st through today, this department has worked 26,370 hours at Quail Hollow CC.  That is the equivalent to 3 years worth of hours.

It is also worth noting that in this industry we have four generations of workers:

Baby Boomers (1946-64)
Generation X (1965-76)
Millennials (1977-95)
Generation Z (1996-present)

Motivation and management is different for each group and our superintendents work hard to ensure that this staff is efficient in the way that they move around the course and also to optimize the skill set.

Course Conditions (12.8.19) and Info

There is a frost delay until 11am today due to freezing temperatures.

We will be forced to keep carts on paths and this is due to two different reasons:

1) There are wet areas throughout the property

AND

2) Golfing in the winter months is incredibly dangerous to the plant.  There will be areas of the property that will remain frozen such as shaded and low level areas.  Traffic of any kind, either cart or foot, will shear off the roots of the plant, causing damage that will become evident in the spring.

Finally, in a few surveys I noticed people asking us why we don't continue to cut the turf, mainly on greens.  We, in Northeast Ohio, are susceptible to a disease that forms under heavy amounts of snow.  In order to combat this problem we make a pesticide application in November that coats the leaf blade through the winter months.  Any mowing that occurs would be to remove the pesticide from the plant.

Please enjoy the ability to swing a club in December and trust that we'll get greens sped up during the regular season months.

Thank you,
JA

2019 Recap (Part 1)

I will try to break up the winter by providing our membership with some info from the previous season:

As most can remember, this spring started off extremely wet, however we did end the season with three month at or below the average rainfall amounts for the area.

April: 4.15"  (roughly 1" over average)

May: 5.55"  (over 2.5" above average)

June: 7.85"  (over 4" above average)

July: 6.9"  (over 3.5" above average)

August: 3.45"  (slightly below average)

September: 2.1  (nearly 2" below average)

October: 3.9"  (nearly avearge)

Update (12.3.19)

As winter begins to set in we wanted to pass along a quick update on two off-season activities.

First, we will be working to complete the indoor driving net in the cart barn near the practice green.  Some attention needs to be paid to the netting and the aged hitting mats.  We will communicate with the pro shop and this site when we have completed the area.

Secondly, we will be placing temporary greens on the Devlin Course to allow walkers to play if the weather permits.  This is something that we did not do last year and it will be numbers 1-6, 9, and 17 & 18.  This will allow for a 9 hole round without having to walk all the way around 7 and 8.

Stay warm,
JA

Course Conditions (12.1.19)

Both courses will remain closed throughout today.

Course Conditions (11.30.19)

With temperatures in the 30s for most of the day today we still run the risk of frozen turf and will have to keep both courses closed.

Course Conditions (11.29.19)

With temps staying in the low to mid 30s we will be forced to keep the course closed due to the risk of frozen turf.

JA

#16 Devlin Fairway

For the second year in a row, we are partnering with Ohio State University to run a trial on short cut turf.  Today, OSU staff has placed a plastic sheet on the treated area.  We ask that members, please stay off of this area.

Thank you,
JA

Update (11.25.19)

Question:  Why has the Weiskopf Course been closed and play has been pushed to Devlin?

Answer:  There are a couple reasons why we have moved play exclusively to the Devlin Course.  First, the snow from that early November event hung around longer on the Weiskopf Course; especially on #s 4, 5, 6, and 10.  Secondly, road work has begun on the new development between 11, 12, and 13.  Road crews are looking to pave the road the week after Thanksgiving, this is weather dependent. 

Question:  Why are there a handful of pink flags on the Devlin Course?

Answer:  Valves that turn on/off the irrigation water during the season sometimes go missing.  Either grass grows over lids, lids get lost or mowed, etc.  The Devlin Course does not have an "as-built" with where all of the pipes and valves are located and we will be doing our own audit this fall into the winter.

Question:  Are you guys going to take down a lot of trees this winter?

Answer:  Over the past two winters; we have taken an aggressive approach to tree management.  This winter we will remove a few trees in order to improve turf quality.  More importantly, we have a list of projects that we want to achieve to improve the course as a whole.  Irrigation updates, drainage additions are all on our "to-do" list.

Question:  Is the blog going to continue into the winter?

Answer: Yes...however we will not have as many daily updates as we have during the season.  Weather systems, project updates, and department updates will all be posted on the blog as needed, but we may take a few days off from time to time.


Please feel free to contact me directly with any additional questions.
Thank you,
JA

Winter Reminder

As the snow begins to fly I wanted to take a moment to remind our membership to be careful as they enter and exit the club grounds. 

We do salt the main walking paths and the most used driveways, there may still be areas that are slick due to ice.  Even salt has its limitations when temperatures are in the teens and below.

Finally, it is extremely important that both my guys and our membership pay attention while we are plowing snow during the day.  We ask that cars and walkers keep their distance as from both our plows to ensure that accidents do not occur.

Thank you and be careful,

With regards to Weiskopf aerification; we are extremely excited about the process that was completed.  We implemented a great deal of sand into the greens and approaches.  Some of this sane will still be evident on greens, this is a temporary side effect and will be worked into the canopy over the next day or two.

Ranges should be set up on turf at the cart barn and on mats at the hotel.

Today's forecast calls for temperatures in the low to mid 60s with sunny skies and winds out of the southeast at 10-15 mph.

Weiskopf Aerification (10.4.19)

We are extremely pleased with how the Weiskopf fall aerification has been going.  We have been able to use over twice the amount of sand than this spring.  This sand helps with root development, water movement, and overall plant health.

Verticutting (or vertical mowing) helps to eliminate thatch which in turn helps the bentgrass to grow laterally.  We will see the benefits of these practices this fall and more importantly next season.

The seasonal temperatures that we are about to experience this week will help in speedy recovery from aerification.

We will allow carts to cross Devlin at 90 degrees, the winds have aided in drying the Devlin Course, however there are still wet areas that members should avoid.

Ranges should be set up on turf at the cart barn and on mats at the hotel.

Today's forecast calls for temps in the mid to upper 50s, mostly cloudy skies, winds out of the northeast at 10-15 mph.

Course Conditions (10.3.19)

Yesterday afternoon and through the evening we received .5" of precipitation.  We are currently experiencing another system which will cause us to begin the day cart path only, no blue flags on Devlin.

Ranges should be set up on mats at the cart barn and on turf at the hotel.

Today's forecast calls for temps in the mid to upper 70s, cloudy skies and winds out of the southwest at 10-15 mph.  The rain should move out of the area by mid-morning.
