Fall time maintenance

It has been a very busy fall here at Tam O Shanter. All greens, tees, collars and approaches have been aerified and sanded 

We have started drainage work. Drainage in the right rough on 10 and approach on 7 have been fixed. Tree roots love to grow in the drain lines clogging them leaving the turf oversatturated. 

These 2 root masses were pulled from 10.

 This root mass was pulled from 7. It was over 18 feet long.

 Amazing stuff. Trees are an intriquate part of a golf course but only in the proper areas. Too many trees cause for many maintenance issues like this. All drain systems on the course will be inspected and fixed or clean out. 

We will be installing new drainage on 3 green. We have already re sloped the back right of the green to allow water to flow off.

We will be installing a new drain system in the left bunker on 4 including the approach and fairway as well as the approach on 14.

The trees have decided to hold their leafs late this year. The staff is ready as soon as the trees decide to drop for the winter.

We will be blowing, raking, vacuuming and mulching until the snow covers the ground.
