Agronomics

It is important to plan and implement an effective agronomic program that enhances the quality of the golf course conditions to exceed the level of expectations by the membership. The agronomic practices I  incorporate include cultural, pesticide and fertilization, and water management programs. Many agronomic practices are highlighted below.

Drill & Fill with Aeration

The new routing of the club forced us to change the severity of the new first hole. This used to be the 15th hole which was a severe dog-leg left and had to be changed in order to produce a straighter and easier opening hole. So, the old bunker that protected the dog-leg was reduced in size and the fairway was extended.

Continued Soil Modification

Repetitive aerfication, as described above, can start to modify a soil profile. By introducing sand into the soil profile by aerfication, roots are enabled to penetrate the soil further, creating a stronger canopy of grass.

Vertidrain

Greens are verti-drained to shatter hardened soil that regular aerators can’t get to. The machine penetrates an unbelievable 14 inches, breaking up the soil to ensure better drainage.
