Greens:
·
Just
aerated with a medium size hollow tine.
·
Greens
rolling at 10-10.5
·
We
are now currently redefining the shape of the greens.
Fairways and roughs:
·
Working in the low humidity/low
fertility regime.
·
New drainage at 4th,
10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 17th…
Collars and tees:
It is our
weakest issue for near future. Main problem is dealing with salinity and
stresses that make the turf less competitive vs. Bermudagrass and other weeds.
We have new
annual weeds: crabgrass and goosegrass. They both germinate in spring and die
in autumn. Every year is a new battle. Best approach is to use preemergence
herbicide. Post emergence herbicide (once it weeds have stablished) needs to be
done in summer when bentgrass is very susceptible.
Bermudagrass
encroachment is very difficult to control. Herbicide application in summer,
when Bermuda is very active and bentrass very weak is not a good option. We
take actions to extend the life of the perimeters free of Bermuda (limited
herbicide control, plastic barrier, edging, hand pulling, mowing low the
Bermuda perimeter) but this will only slow down the encroachment. Digging and
replacing sod is the only option.
We got
2.750 meters of green perimeters and 3.000 of tee perimeter (2.300 sqmt to
change 40 cm of perimeter). We got 800 sqmt nursery.
