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.

Fall Fertilizer and Pre-Emergent Herbicide

   One of the most effective ways to control weeds is to apply pre-emergent herbicide, a chemical that prevents growth from appearing.  The Big question is timing of application this year has been a cool and wet summer for Georgia so waiting till Sept 15 might be to late.  Howard's  fertilizer & chemical came in a did the the bulk spread of  90 acres for us on wednesday.   They were able to spread most of all 90 acres in about 4 hours. That's about half the time it takes us to do it leaving us the Tees and Green complexes to finish up. The product we used was a 5-0-30 mini particle size with 1 lb Barricade Ai./Acre.
