It's been a long time since I've been able to publish anything to this blog and I apologize. The growing season was crazy hectic last year with projects and to put it gently, an unfavorable winter. With the help of Xingyu, last year's architect intern, we designed 4 flower beds, a rock retaining wall and a newly designed and finished black tee box for #1, and a wildflower establishment area located by the tunnel entrance to Fair Hills Resort. These projects were completed and look fantastic; a job well done by all who helped. A special thank you to the Schupp family for providing extra hands to plant the native wildflowers just before the 4th of July.We also completed construction of the chipping green located adjacent to the driving range tee box. We are still growing this in and plan to open it around the fourth of July. We also began construction of a 6800 square foot bentgrass nursery as most of you are aware. Last fall we pressurized and checked the irrigation system addition and are very pleased with the in-house design and installation. This spring, we will finish the final grading and amending, and will plant bentgrass soon after. This addition to the facility will prove beneficial two-fold. It will allow us to harvest bentgrass for damaged areas on our tees, greens and collars; and provide a "test plot" for maintenance practices that we will employ on the rest of the playing surfaces.
Now that this is all behind us and we are once again looking forward to the upcoming season, I thought I would post some information on Wildflower's two newest additions to our crew.
We were fortunate enough to hire two assistant superintendents to add to our experienced staff who have more than 30+ years in the golf course maintenance industry.
