Irrigation blowout.............

Next week Monday we will be starting the annual irrigation blowout. The process takes about 3.5 days.

This week we mowed all the short grass one last time and then pulled all the reels off of the traction units. So I dont plan to mow anymore this season. The bathrooms should be winterized and shut down for the season by the weekend. Most of the rakes, t-signs, tee markers, ballwashers, etc. have been brought indoors too.

Following blowout we still need to make our snowmold application and topdress the greens. We also will be working on the leaf harvest, but that has been a waiting game as the trees are not dropping leaves real fast yet.
