Seriously....

Today is March 15....We have mowed greens for the first time last Friday....Today was the second time... 

Here at the Sanctuary, another 165 golfers today.  People are jumping up and down for joy, I can honestly say right now I'm not.  Swamped with Ma Nature thinking it's mid April, cutting greens, changing cups, building the monster deck at the clubhouse, budget time...list goes on and on.

Thank you for returning employees.  Most of the staff from last season has decided to return.   Now on to the 72 bunkers that need desperate attention.

But to schedule an application of Primo/ Proxy for Poa seehead control a full 3 weeks ahead of last season?  Not to mention thoughts about pre-emergent weed and grass controls...in March?


I solemnly believe that insects and my nemesis Dollar Spot are gonna be a bear this season.  This on top of the recovering 14th freeway still.

Tree trimming didn't occur last winter, but it will commence once the course has gotten back into shape.

So please fix your ballmarks and replace your divots and enjoy your round.  Thanks.
