French drainage

We've just installed some new French drainage to number 16 in front of the green on the Whitworth golf course.  This area has been a constant wet area and the new French drainage should alleviate the problem. 

New Out of Bounds line

With all the new construction that's been happening around the club with the addition of new homes the property lines are coming into focus a little more clearly.  Here, on number 1 of the Hogan, we are moving our out of bound stakes to accommodate the true property line.  Stakes will also be moved to the right of Whitworth number 1 as well this week.

Drainage #16 Hogan

When it rains these bunkers on number 16 of the Hogan course always seem to stay a little wetter than others.  After investigating the problem, we discovered that roots from the trees pictured above had taken over the drain pipe that allows those bunkers to drain properly.  Here, Camerino, Marcelino, and Jose are replacing the root filled sections of drain pipe with new drain pipe.

Stump grinding

Today we've started on some much needed stump grinding here at Trophy Club Country Club.  Today we will be grinding stumps mainly on the Whitworth Course and tomorrow will be on the Hogan Course.

Here is Ralf from Arbor Masters grinding a stump behind #9 Whitworth.

Overseed

After recieving over a half inch of rain the past couple of days, the driving range tee and target greens look pretty good.  The overseed has come in very nicely.

Fertilizing overseed

It's been a week since we overseeded the par 3s on the course and it looks like we've gotten great results so far.  Today, we will be fertilizing all par 3s with a starter fertilizer to get all the seedlings going.  A couple of weeks from now we will refertilize the tees with a 25-9-10 fertilizer as we should see great results by then.

New fountain

We recently replaced one of the motors in one of the aerators off number 18 Hogan.  Here is a picture of the new motor attached to the float.

We are to have gotten this back up and running again.
