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.

Bunkers washing after Mother Nature's 1.25 inches rainfall

            As with almost everything we do on a golf course, there are some limitations Mother Nature being the Biggest!! There was more heavy rainfall February 26 1.25 inches yesterday causing more bunker washing. The already saturated soils from the rainfall on February 22 of 1.22” and February 23 of 1.29” added to the major washing you see in the pictures.
The major cause of the washing is from the steep slopes and faces collecting the rain fall and funneling it into the bunkers.  Although the repairs were made this morning after the rain stopped it is very labor intensive for the crew which has to shovel and hand rake all 61 bunkers.
