GREENS AND GROUNDS
Golf Course Update
Thewintertimeisthoughttobethe“offseason”orthe“slow”timeoftheyear;however,thatisnotthecaseatall.Duringthewinter,wearejustas busy as any other time of year The bermudagrass greens require special attention during the cold months, much like bentgrass greens require extraattentionduringtheheat Ourgreensthriveintheheatbecausebermudagrassisawarm-seasonturfgrass Ourmaingoalinthe“off-season” istokeepthemalivethroughthewinter
Winter survival of bermudagrass greens requires extra care, input, and attention It starts with a raised height of cut to act as extra insulation, or a buffer from the cold We also focus on moisture and nutrient management to get us through the cold We are fortunate enough to be able to cover greens to maintain tolerable soil temperatures when the air temperatures drop drastically Covering greens takes place when the temperatureis25-27degreesFahrenheitorlower.Lastly,fungicidesareusedtoprotecttheplantsfromdiseaseduringtheirmostvulnerabletime period
One major piece of the puzzle for winter survival of greens is moisture. Because the greens are not actively taking up water through the roots, we have to make sure the plants stay hydrated. Desiccation will occur if the plants dry out. We have to watch humidity levels, air temperature, and soil temperature, wind speeds, and also monitor the moisture in the top three inches of the greens using our moisture meters It is important to water the greens before and after covers are used We also continue to use wetting agents in the dormant season These chemicals help with penetration,holding,andmovingwaterintoandthroughoutthesubsurfaceofthegreens
It is always important to never stop feeding the plants, even though they might not be growing If we were to have a warm spell in the middle of winter, the plants would actually wake up from dormancy and use some of the nutrients that they have stored We do not want the nutrient supplytoeverrunout,sowespoon-feedtheplantseitherfromfoliarspraysorgranularapplicationssothattherearealwaysavailablenutrients
When the greens are dormant, the chlorophyll exits the leaves, and nutrients are stored in the roots and stolons This is why the rest of the golf course turns brown In order for the greens to remain green throughout the winter, we use pigments to give them their color Pigment is different than paint in that the pigment program is started while the plants are still actively growing The plants actually take in the pigment, unlike paint, whichisjustthat,paintontopoftheleaves.Thepigmentalsohelpswithheatretention,muchlikewearingablackshirtinthemiddleofJuly.

LUISLOPEZ PANTRYCHEF
EMPLOYEEOFTHEMONTH AUGUST2025
I love working in the kitchen. In the kitchen, I have opportunities to expand my creativity I also get to learn new and exciting ways of creating new dishes out of the same products that I would use in a whole different application. Just a little about me. I love Chinese food; you can take basic ingredients and make a delicious dish. My favorite drink, however, goes better with Mexican food: the Margarita! All I can say is yum! My hobbies are: I love to play basketball, cooking, and of course, gaming. You may also be surprised to know that I lived in Barcelona for 2 years My girlfriend and I love to have dinner together, it’sourfavoritethingtodo!
