A WORD FROM THE PRO

If you’ve been on the course recently, you’ve likely seen the work being done and improvements we’ve made at the 5th green. For years, that green has been the slowest to recover from the winter dormancy. A lot of time and effort are spent on that green in particular. There are a few reasons why that green has been more of a struggle than the others.

Last year, the two Pine Trees at the back of the green were heavily damaged from the winter storm of ’21 and had to be removed. Those trees blocked a lot of sunlight in the winter months when the sun is lower to the horizon in the south. Removing those trees made a positive impact but it wasn’t the silver bullet.

The trees on the slope to the left of the green were also blocking sunlight for a good part of the day in the winter months, and most of the morning the rest of the year. Being shaded prevents the green from warming up as quickly during the day, so the soil temperatures would remain lower than other greens on the course, thus inhibiting growth. These trees would also limit airflow throughout the year. The improved air flow during the summer months will help cool the turf and help growing conditions as well. As an added bonus, the view from the green has Lastly, you’ve probably noticed the new trench in front of improved greatly!!! the green and a drain at the back of the green. During construction, the greens were built with drainage pipes below the surface which allows water to flow through the soil and maintain proper moisture levels. At some point over the 40+ years of existence, that drainage pipe likely collapsed or was plugged (from tree roots, sediment, etc).

This resulted in irrigation and rainwater essentially sitting in the soil and likely causing damage to the turf. About 24 inches below the green surface is a layer of golf ball-size rocks which also help with drainage. In early June, a hole was dug down to the rock layer at the back of the green.

Then, a trench was dug to the rock layer at the front of the green. The theory is like taking your finger off the top of a straw.The air pressure from the top of the green forces water below the surface downhill to the front of the green and the new drainpipe at the front of the green will direct water down the slope away from the green. As you can see from the photos below, there has been a lot of growth in the short time since these projects were started.

Thank you to Eric Floyd and the entire Golf Course Maintenance team for their tireless work making these improvements. Your dedication is appreciated!
