Welcome

Welcome, this site will be devoted to providing information about the ongoing maintenance issues that take place at The Creek Club . As this site is developed, content will be added that demonstrates things that range from course care to comprehensive details about agronomic procedures. I hope that this will become a useful tool in communicating things that are taking place on the golf course. I will try to use the blog to explain how and why we do some of the things we do on the golf course.

Georgia Golf Environmental Foundation


 In the industry category of the Environmental Leader of the Year awards, Reynolds Plantation in Greensboro secured the honor now that all six of the facility’s courses have achieved designation as Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuaries. “Reynolds Plantation has shown a strong commitment to its environmental program. They are to be commended for their efforts to provide a sanctuary for wildlife on the golf course properties,” says Joellen Lampman, Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary programs director.
To reach certification, a course must demonstrate a high degree of environmental quality in areas including environmental planning, wildlife and habitat management, outreach and education, reduced and safe chemical use, water conservation and water quality management. Receiving the award for Reynolds Plantation were golf course superintendents Lane Singleton, Hoyt Ellspermann, Lee Byce and Brad DiMascio.

Turf Pigment and Iron

Nov 30, 2012 we sprayed the second application of turf Pigment and iron on our Zorro Zoysia Fairways.  I think it gives a good contrast between the Dormant T10 Bermuda rough and Zoysia Fairways.
