Fox

A fox got into 13 green last night and dug a hole in that spot we have been working on back left. He was probably after that organic material that we put in the mixture that we filled the holes with. Looks like we need to do a better job on our "wildlife management".

Hopefully the nursery will be ready in the next couple weeks to be able to give us a few plugs to repair this area. The nursery is coming in good, even with the late seeding. We didn't rebuild it until after member guest. The nursery is used to repair spots like this, but we mainly use it for a testing area. It's great to be able to test different chemicals on this nursery before we put it out on all the greens. We can see how that grass responds to different rates and evaluate different products to make sure they are effective enough out down on all the rest of the greens. This saves us money over the course if the year. If we try something new, we can spray the nursery first and if the product works, I can put it down on all the greens...if it doesn't work...we are just out 2500 sqft of product versus 140,000 sqft.
