STIMPMETER READING This is a daily reading of the greens on speed. The higher the number, the faster the greens. Average speed is from 9 to 9.6. TODAYS READING: 10.0 5/9/08, History 9.7 5/8, 10.2 5/1

GREENS INFO: As of 5/7/08: Deep tining of greens with topdressing has begun. This is in place of aerification, less agressive with better results. Little notice with this process in your putting.

 

Course Improvements

Aerification achieves three important objectives. It relieves soil compaction, it provides a method to improve the soil mixture around the highest part of a greens roots and it reduces thatch. Filling the aerification holes with sand "topdressing", improves drainage and resists soil compaction, as well as allows for oxygen to get to the roots and creates space for the downward growth of roots and then, new growth of healthy turf.

Concrete path to pavilion has been constructed during the month of April.

You will see a change in some bunker's in 2008. The Kirby Marker system has been installed in all fairways. May is a consentration on aesthetics. Edging and flower planting will define the beauty you expect from Bunker Hill.
