Range Bridge Project has Started

The project to improve the aesthetics around the range bridge began last week.  Landvisions is installing an apron on the east side of the bridge to stop the erosion caused during heavy rains.  This will allow the area to be mowed and maintained during periods of low rainfall.

They are also installing a retaining wall on the cart barn/putting green side of the bridge.  This will improve the look of the area and deal with any erosion issues on that side.  It will also establish a defined area for planting a flower bed with azaleas, crepe myrtles, and was myrtles.

Planet Air

Last Monday we used a new aerification method on the greens.  This process is called Planet Air.  It is a very aggressive spiker that leaves very little surface disruption.  It helps improve water infiltration down into the soil profile and also helps exchange gases from the rootzone with oxygen in the atmosphere.  It can not replace a core aerification however because it does not remove any thatch, but it is a good process to do during tournament season when healing time is important.
