The greens on the Devlin course were deep tined aerated today. An outside company brings in two machines and the process takes about 7-8 hours. We were able to go about 7-8" into the greens which is about 1-2" deeper than last fall. Since the Devlin greens are "push-up" greens, they are native soil and have no internal drainage. We did not pull a core this spring, but choose to create more deeper channels into the greens. This should help push roots deeper and allow water into the greens. A 0-0-50 fertilizer was also applied to the greens today. With Devlin closed, we were able to mow all the approaches, fairways, step cut and all rough on the Devlin today.
The greens on the Weiskopf were lightly topdressed as well this morning. We also continued with spring cleanup, more mowing and the capital valve project. The fairways on all 36 holes were also sprayed with plant protectants, fertilizer and pod annua seed head control.
