My assistant superintendent, Tran Zerface has decided to move on from the club to work at a professional soccer field in Nashville, TN. We thank him for all of his help over the past two seasons and wish him luck in his new adventure!
Obie and I spent most of January working on our 2007 Toro fairway mowers, our 2009 Toro rough mower, and sharpening cutting unit reels. Our fairway mowers got a full service this winter. That includes changing: oil and filter, fuel filters, hydraulic fluid and filters, air filters, a leaking transmission seal, 10 hydraulic hoses, rear axle bushings, and many bushings in the cutting unit lift arms. This full service will hopefully ensure that the mower stays out on the course this summer instead of in the shop being worked on. Both machines had most of the same work done to them. We also put a sharp cutting edge on all of the reels using our Bernhard reel grinding machines.

We also serviced our 2009 Toro rough mower last month. This machine got a similar service as the fairway mowers. On this machine, we also replaced all of the grass discharge chutes under the mower decks for a cleaner cut in the rough. These machines get used heavily every season and large cottonwood roots and branches don't treat the machines real nice.

Lastly, we serviced our Bernhard reel grinders in January. We were due to replace the grinding stone and bearing assembly on the machine. This stone sharpens all of our cutting units multiple times throughout the year. In total, we have 24 reels to sharpen throughout the year. Some units, like our greens mowers, get sharpened every other week during the golf season. These grinders provide a razor blade sharp cut so that we can be as precise as possible when it comes to cutting our turfgrass. The cleaner the cut on the golf course, the healthier the turf is to provide the best playing surfaces possible.

Our turf is mostly covered throughout the golf course, equipment is coming in the warm shop for service, and preparations for the 2022 golf season have begun.
In early November right after the course closed, we were able to rent a boom for three days to limb up trees around the property. Most of the limbing occured on 4,6,9,13, and 14. We hauled many loads and created new golf shots out on the course. We removed a few ash trees that were either in the wrong location, had many broken limbs, or were growing into another healthy tree. We do have a few more to remove that we will wrap up this winter or in the spring. Tran and I also spent a few days in December limbing trees between holes 1 and 2.

During the same time, Gowan Construction completed a repair on the bank on the left side of #3 tee box. This bank has been a concern for a few years after the past two spring floods. We were about a foot away from losing the entire front part of the tee box. Gowan came in and removed the topsoil from the area, pushed up all of the slipped soil from down below to the top of the bank and packed it in a few directions. They then put the topsoil back down over top. We will be working with a few agencies this spring about what types of plants to put in this area to hopefully create a more sturdy bank.

Our new mechanic, Obie, has gotten a good start on equipment this month. He has serviced our small utility gators, Bobcat tractor, Kubota skid steer and tractor, our large utility gators, and our newer Toro large area rough mower. Most of these require us to change the oil and filter, hydraulic oil and filter, air filters, fuel filters, spark plugs, and fuel/water separators. Obie also goes through the entire machine checking for loose or broken parts and bearings, worn belts, and tightening any loose lug nuts or bolts. He inspects brake pads or drums, hydraulic hoses, and cleans out any radiators. All of these services help keep our equipment running longer and in the shop less during the golf season. Our new smaller utility Toro carts should be arriving in January or February.
Tran and I have been busy in the maintenance shop cleaning and organizing from a long golf season that we just wrapped up. We are always trying to find ways to organize our tools, grounds equipment tools, and equipment parts in a better way with the size of our shop. For example, our chainsaws have been sitting on a bench taking up unnecessary space, so we used some old 2x4's and a few brackets and got them off of a bench and on the wall. We also have spent some time refinishing the floors in our breakroom and bathroom. The old stick on tiles had seen their better days, so we pulled those up and completed an epoxy garage-type flooring in these rooms.

We have also started to refinish many of our course accessories. We will sand, stain, paint, and poly all of our course accessories so that they last another golf season.
Lastly, I went out for a walk earlier this week to check the status of our snow cover and our turfgrass. I was pleased that on most greens, we have 3-4" of snow cover, and most importantly, no ice. Some greens have drifts of 1-2 feet, and there are very few areas of bare turf. Hopefully we receive a few more snow falls here before the real cold sets in so that all of our turf is covered and insulated for the winter months ahead. I also spent some time trimming the bushes along holes 4 and 12.

We have roughly 35 pieces of equipment to go through during this time. Each piece gets looked over thoroughly so that we minimize equipment break downs during the golf season. We will change all fluids, filters, grease every movable part and replace any broken or worn out parts. If we can catch worn out parts now before they start to wear out more or wreck other parts, we are time and money ahead. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This winter we spent an extra amount of time going through our flood fighting machine. This is the Yamaha Rhino that we acquired last season. This UTV has tracks that allow us to drive on fairway and rough turfgrass without tearing it up. It has a snow pushing blade out front that pushes all of the left behind silt from the river floods. Even though tracks are built for snow, water, and mud, they still take a beating from these adventures and require a lot of maintenance. We took each of the four tracks apart in the shop and replaced all 46 wheel bearings. All 46 wheels are essential to the movement of the actual track. We then tensioned each track properly. I have a lot of confidence that this machine will not need to be used this upcoming spring, but we are ready.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgOvGAZ56ug7dM58rX866W8UUSMWypAdrJNiHhlPMUMlMZziekLCDifm9fl0UkTg52vDgxjpcUVF0X9q_DLAAx1Vb9Pol7i476zrSZcjgvugJXeE444d5YilYFp1IWbqOySYCQw9f-dbc/s2048/IMG_3643.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgOvGAZ56ug7dM58rX866W8UUSMWypAdrJNiHhlPMUMlMZziekLCDifm9fl0UkTg52vDgxjpcUVF0X9q_DLAAx1Vb9Pol7i476zrSZcjgvugJXeE444d5YilYFp1IWbqOySYCQw9f-dbc/s320/IMG_3643.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">One of the four tracks removed from the machine.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXhMRnS0ahUi7iJJ8AfPPHCy5Iq7ntDevf8Nqu1ZpHoDmqX-2F8TGuidhrvUdsixbhxlX8VtEBMDwLzqPyIEYiymiabuaK8kpbKmiQIgoR03dFAZ1EKFfLIeXEHQS4Epc2oDJY7YYDbV4/s2048/IMG_3655.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXhMRnS0ahUi7iJJ8AfPPHCy5Iq7ntDevf8Nqu1ZpHoDmqX-2F8TGuidhrvUdsixbhxlX8VtEBMDwLzqPyIEYiymiabuaK8kpbKmiQIgoR03dFAZ1EKFfLIeXEHQS4Epc2oDJY7YYDbV4/s320/IMG_3655.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here is a track with just one wheel remaining.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuanfxp9F3KFQFJ4rTxdohgTuhn8VEMVWKBsIlo-uMrmiIbb5eI5rUwAzsYGg6eh2FXDxpjDCNSUizZW4n-FmxsdElEsD9lqMyo4706_NG2j_Q7io9lEmk7YXYQ9S57GSwY5PE-EX76_o/s2048/IMG_3678.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuanfxp9F3KFQFJ4rTxdohgTuhn8VEMVWKBsIlo-uMrmiIbb5eI5rUwAzsYGg6eh2FXDxpjDCNSUizZW4n-FmxsdElEsD9lqMyo4706_NG2j_Q7io9lEmk7YXYQ9S57GSwY5PE-EX76_o/s320/IMG_3678.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This picture shows the bearings inside each of the 46 wheels.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHlptiDijRXySGiBftaKacOB969UMPooxSdKhORjOKWx34hZepcAkeXwqdP4iXnweNZ3NgeNHu2QQlFr54EJoWNBRii_UOtVGBGxC9QIkIGF8H_ZFEnY8zPDbM1OZiblFIjG90mTmOHEs/s2048/IMG_3679.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHlptiDijRXySGiBftaKacOB969UMPooxSdKhORjOKWx34hZepcAkeXwqdP4iXnweNZ3NgeNHu2QQlFr54EJoWNBRii_UOtVGBGxC9QIkIGF8H_ZFEnY8zPDbM1OZiblFIjG90mTmOHEs/w300-h400/IMG_3679.JPG" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Finished product of a maintained Yamaha Rhino Flood Fighting Machine.</td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The maintenance on our fairway, greens, tees, and rough mowers has mostly been normal compared to most winters.

The greens only have 4-6” of snow on most of them, with a few having some 12" drifts, but we have only had about one week of frigid below zero temperatures. There also isn’t any ice accumulation on the greens, which is also a positive note. The NWS just came out with the first flood forecast for this spring and it looks great. With very dry conditions this fall and so far little snow this winter, the chances for major flooding is well below 50%. We will continue to monitor the forecast and hope for a year off of any spring flooding.</span></p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRq3py5YhQA7Ftks8REmJYsQWh9c6UEAIVJiCf7dUHOjRYKZWBMDCVzxxqk1FdgiH1qOD_b-xO_cB2eYOSSNOJVcawSOddqSjqVgmqDj0L4LGy0nx-sdFZat1YgiyqWY49mwcIbfszS4w/s2048/IMG_3726.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRq3py5YhQA7Ftks8REmJYsQWh9c6UEAIVJiCf7dUHOjRYKZWBMDCVzxxqk1FdgiH1qOD_b-xO_cB2eYOSSNOJVcawSOddqSjqVgmqDj0L4LGy0nx-sdFZat1YgiyqWY49mwcIbfszS4w/w300-h400/IMG_3726.JPG" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">12 Green fully covered with snow with larger drifts in back from the snowfence</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimq1bTRT4X8wtaeIR_8zVpPUE8CQZMCYCLnU8oYX_wTr6qvMqqiix85Dk2LxwcGULd7QeZ5se-XqGAeRUOrbisVkD17c3rIKU2wGA52wRb5n3zYj7jBpJfRSJ4NrvNu1cdEJ1MF8zmwKg/s2048/IMG_3727.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimq1bTRT4X8wtaeIR_8zVpPUE8CQZMCYCLnU8oYX_wTr6qvMqqiix85Dk2LxwcGULd7QeZ5se-XqGAeRUOrbisVkD17c3rIKU2wGA52wRb5n3zYj7jBpJfRSJ4NrvNu1cdEJ1MF8zmwKg/s320/IMG_3727.JPG" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">13 Green covered with about 4" of snow</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p>Collin Cannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09885677363091652667noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477962812014917672.post-2992626292861707112020-12-07T19:18:00.001-08:002020-12-07T19:18:27.152-08:00Grounds Crew Update<p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">We’ve had unseasonably warm weather for most of November and the beginning of December.

We have also completed a few small drainage projects on #6 and #11 fairways to help alleviate summer flooding. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">In early November we rented a boom trailer to tackle a few holes that needed some branch removal higher than we could reach from the ground. We spent a lot of time on the cottonwood trees on the left side of #12 and the left side of #14 near the tee boxes on both holes. We were also able to remove many “widow makers” throughout the golf course. These are the branches up in the trees that have broken and lay on top of other branches. I wanted to get as many removed as possible as it can be a safety issue out on the course. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidRCyWoyYT3qNljZKmGbhNmO2viV3bNoeAlTXpguSL7pJaMppquKX_N9psEWX9f5qZuT7hwbcVqsj1uGU1Sj3g7cFY-SSSgWI9Rogm_fFvRk-gFj7Z5hFWEsbjcTeXtrIv07vhnG5lAYg/s2048/IMG_3460.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidRCyWoyYT3qNljZKmGbhNmO2viV3bNoeAlTXpguSL7pJaMppquKX_N9psEWX9f5qZuT7hwbcVqsj1uGU1Sj3g7cFY-SSSgWI9Rogm_fFvRk-gFj7Z5hFWEsbjcTeXtrIv07vhnG5lAYg/w300-h400/IMG_3460.JPG" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">#14 tree trimming looking towards the tee box</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLaFSykfz3QVcwRqntYIEdoc8S_L28GQF9mcGySZB-cCEQpl7MAmKmuZazO-m6tDaZB2BFieCFXZZzCIyb1mVWJ147pRNhDfxCAmnuEYF_xAZHsi23TBGMISY1bp8YyZist0n7YCa3IE/s2048/IMG_3573.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPLaFSykfz3QVcwRqntYIEdoc8S_L28GQF9mcGySZB-cCEQpl7MAmKmuZazO-m6tDaZB2BFieCFXZZzCIyb1mVWJ147pRNhDfxCAmnuEYF_xAZHsi23TBGMISY1bp8YyZist0n7YCa3IE/w480-h640/IMG_3573.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">#14 cottonwood tree trimming completed</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmnbz8duyOkrCrDV8K0NdZDiCwqmYfI2B23VKBYRSFA4qnGAtWAER_yahwqA131Sp357PJkz7v-4yxdj62M2Mmn9mhbsPAj6kDAVK4XS7O0WhsbdaBFOjK35WGNDpQahFEgAc3RXySkvI/s2048/IMG_3464.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmnbz8duyOkrCrDV8K0NdZDiCwqmYfI2B23VKBYRSFA4qnGAtWAER_yahwqA131Sp357PJkz7v-4yxdj62M2Mmn9mhbsPAj6kDAVK4XS7O0WhsbdaBFOjK35WGNDpQahFEgAc3RXySkvI/w300-h400/IMG_3464.JPG" width="300" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">#12 tree trimming on the left side</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcsDu83MtqCeshqWEDCj_cT7vLed_nqY_rJLKC2HtTpZZZMavUpaI5jNJz9h-YpBmIW-eCbi5tn2L7v_ZL9OeYXc_slSW6Zb_9Z3Qwn4p9vNY434L_J0TIO_W3I8E2ImX4Xaf_f2qmVOk/s2048/IMG_3466.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcsDu83MtqCeshqWEDCj_cT7vLed_nqY_rJLKC2HtTpZZZMavUpaI5jNJz9h-YpBmIW-eCbi5tn2L7v_ZL9OeYXc_slSW6Zb_9Z3Qwn4p9vNY434L_J0TIO_W3I8E2ImX4Xaf_f2qmVOk/w480-h640/IMG_3466.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"Widow maker" removal along right side of 11 fairway.

Besides tree work, we were able to complete a few drainage projects on 6 and 11 fairways. We graciously received about ten truck loads of immaculate top soil this past summer from a few of our generous members. We used a lot of this top soil to build new red tee boxes on #4 and #9. We also used much of this soil to help level a lot of our "potholes" on 6 and 11 fairways. We did our best to level some of these areas out and funnel them to a few new drainage holes before the ground froze up. We will need to do some finish work in the spring once the snow melts and the ground thaws, but this should help alleviate some of our summer flooding issues. This is a temporary fix and our Master Plan with Norby Golf Design will be the best option for us to completely fix these flooding issues. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Tran and I have also started to work on some of our equipment fleet. Every piece will come into the warm side of the shop and get a thorough look over. We will change fluids and filters, replace any broken parts, and sharpen all of the blades in preparation for next season. It is a nice change of pace for us to recharge our minds, take in some educational opportunities, and turn some wrenches instead of worry about our turf playing surfaces for a few months. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">Come on out for a walk around the golf course while it is still this nice out in December!

February and March have been busy months in the shop. Our rough mowers have gotten the most work during this time. We typically mow the rough at the country club four days during the week, for at least 8 hours each of those days. With that being said, they go through a lot of rough terrain mowing and get a hard workout. Every part gets inspected from bearings to bushings to hydraulic fluid and filters to engine parts. <o:p></o:p></div>

Our 2009 Toro wide area rough mower was long over-due for a mower deck overhaul. The decks had begun to rust, the belt pulleys and the shafts had begun to wear, bushings and bearings in all moveable parts were worn out and our quality of cut just wasn’t where it needed to be. <o:p></o:p></div>

We did most of the work in the shop at the golf course, but some of the work was outsourced. We had Grand Forks Welding help us rebuild and weld the belt pulley shafts, AJ’s Sandblasting did the prep work to the decks, and Pro-Tec Powder Coating put on a fresh Toro Red color to finish off the decks. We were able to salvage some parts for the decks, but had to replace a large portion of worn out pieces. <o:p></o:p></div>

During the past two months, we have also put a lot of work into our triplex greens and tee box mowers, our debris blower, and our greens roller. Our triplex mowers got fully serviced with fluid and filter changes, as well as reel sharpening. Two of our three triplex mowers had light kits attached to the mowers, so we added an LED light kit to the third triplex. Our debris blower received a full service and carburetor replacement. On our greens roller, we had to replace a few broken bearings, a transmission seal, and we replaced the 13 year old engine. <o:p></o:p></div>

Lastly, we completed a few other small projects in the shop this winter to make life “a little bit easier” when it comes to maintaining the golf course. For about $25, we added an LED light bar to our sprayer as we complete many applications in the dark, early mornings. This will make mixing and spraying easier for us. All of the tee markers and yardage markers have been repainted and varnished and the rest of the course accessories are ready for the season. <o:p></o:p></div>

The mighty Red River is rising quickly this season, and we are spending the week preparing for the fight and clean up. Four of our irrigation satellite boxes have been removed, and we waiting to see if our pump station needs to be disassembled. I am optimistic for a quick rise and descend of the river, meaning our clean-up will be minimal compared to last year and we will have more turf survive the elements. <o:p></o:p></div>

Is anyone getting anxious to swing some clubs?? With an early October snow storm and record fall flood, it seems like we haven’t been able to enjoy our wonderful golf course at the Grand Forks Country Club in a long time. I am trying to be as optimistic as I can with the upcoming spring thaw situation. I have my fingers crossed that the rest of February can cooperate and we don’t receive too much moisture in March. <o:p></o:p></div>

Well, we have been very busy in the shop this winter preparing all of the equipment for the upcoming golf season. We have 38 pieces of equipment to maintain all year round. This does not include multiple string trimmers and gas powered water pumps that also need attention each year. All of these pieces of equipment are extremely important to the success of our golf course and are used heavily during the golf season by many employees. </div>

All of our winter equipment preparation begins the day the golf season ends. Every piece of equipment is pressure washed, brought into the heated side of our shop to fully dry and then every movable part gets greased. This prevents parts like bearings and seals from freezing from the pressure washing process and then cracking or breaking if frozen. Each individual piece is then parked in the cold side of the shop and rotated into the warm shop for a full service throughout the winter. <o:p></o:p></div>

I have been extremely fortunate during my time at the GFCC for the commitment of replacing old equipment on a financially responsible time frame. There gets to be a time where the parts and work that a machine needs gets to be more expensive than what the machine is worth. Although it is still typically less expensive to fix equipment rather than to purchase new, some of these pieces of equipment are broken down in the shop more often than running out on the golf course. I believe we have done an excellent job replacing those few pieces of equipment that fall into that category. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Other than equipment maintenance, we are busy in the shop rebuilding, painting, and staining course accessories. Last winter we were able to build new tee markers for the golf course. By building our own tee markers, we saved roughly $3,000 and only spent $300 with the tee marker design that we chose. Anything that we are able to build in-house usually saves us large amounts of money. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
In addition to maintenance, I typically get to attend a few turfgrass educational opportunities in the area. These opportunities are excellent for keeping a fresh mind for maintaining a golf course, new ideas to improve course conditions, and networking with other turfgrass professionals all over our tri-state region. One other exciting opportunity that I get to be a part of this winter is the Master Planning process for the Grand Forks Country Club provided by Herfort Norby Architects. With a plan in place, the future of the GFCC is very exciting. Stay tuned for updates!<o:p></o:p></div>

It’s hard to believe that it is already past the middle of
June and we are well into our busy tournament season. The grounds crew pushed
hard the last few weeks to edge our 49 bunkers, get the entire course string
trimmed, get all of the flowers planted around the property, as well as keeping
up with all of the mowing and greens maintenance practices. I am very proud of the work they have done and now
we will continue to keep the course in tip top shape.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is a large task to keep all of our bunkers in excellent
playing condition. After edging each one, we spend at least one day a week
pushing the sand up from the bottom edge to the top edge of each bunker.
Irrigation and heavy rainfall usually pulls the sand down to the bottom. We
will also add new sand to some of the bunkers that need it the most. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We decided to replace the aged flower pots in front of the
clubhouse main entrance and pro shop door a few weeks ago. These pots will be
out all season and we hope to place the larger ones inside during the off
season to display some winter foliage. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The board, finance committee, and golf and greens committee
approved a few new pieces of equipment for the grounds crew this past month. We
have purchased a used greens mower that will allow us to verticut the greens on
an every other week schedule. Although, there are many other uses for this
greens mower. We now have an extra set of cutting units if we get into a
situation where our other reels are dull. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we have a mower broken down, we now have a backup
machine. Also, we have the option to double cut greens or send out another
mower to get ahead of early morning play.<o:p></o:p></div>

The other piece of equipment that we purchased was a new
aerator. This is a walk behind machine which will be much more efficient and
“gentle” on our greens. This machine replaces our tractor mounted aerator. It
typically took 10+ hours to aerate all of our greens and with our new Procore,
it should take between 5-7 hours. This machine will allow us to core aerate or
needle tine aerate our greens and tee boxes. <o:p></o:p></div>

We will begin needle tine aerating our greens on Tuesday,
June 26. Behind aerating, we will very lightly topdress the greens with an
80/20 Dakota peat sand mixture. We will then roll and water the greens behind
that process. Needle tine venting allows oxygen and water down to the roots of
the turfgrass plant and helps reduce localized dry spot. Lightly topdressing the
greens will also help firm up our greens and produce a smoother, quicker ball
roll. We will continue this process every other week throughout the season. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
The nice weather has finally arrived and the grounds crew has been busy out on the golf course. I have had about half of my staff working the past few weeks and we are getting into the swing of things. With school wrapping up at UND, most of the grounds staff will be started within the week. We have a long list of tasks to complete to get the golf course in tip top shape, but we will get there very soon!<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago we had 47 stumps ground on the course and they have been leveled and seeded. Some of the larger ones may be sodded as we have more staff on hand. The greens have been consistently mowed at least every other day, and rolled on the other days. We have been able to mow tees, collars, and approaches. The fairways have gotten a few haircuts and with the moisture and heat that we've received, you can watch the rough grow. As more staff starts filling in this week, we will be on a more routine mowing, rolling, and bunker raking schedule. We will also begin the long process of pushing sand around in all of the bunkers and edging every single one of them.<br />
<br />
As most of you noticed, we had some action going on at the irrigation pump station last week. We had VFDs installed on our pump motors. A variable frequency drive regulates the speed of the pump motor. The VFDs start our pump motors up slower and only runs the motor at the speed that it needs to supply 100 psi to our irrigation lines underground. These VFDs will save our irrigation lines from water hammering and will lengthen the life of our pumps and motors. It is also an energy saving device as we are only using the amount of power that we need vs. wasting energy when our pumps used to start up at full speed all of the time.<br />

We may still have some irrigation breaks this summer as our lines underground are 30+ years old and overtime, PVC becomes brittle. Although, installing these VFDs will reduce that number of breaks that we have been seeing the last few years and save us some money.<br />
<br />
We verticut and slit seeded number 1 and 2 greens last week. We will be lightly topdressing them once a week as we go forward. I have already seen progress in both greens, and I believe we will continue to see these greens improve. We are busy working with Todd Daniels of ProTurf Systems on a plan for our greens and other various areas of the golf course this season. We plan on core aerating the greens on May 24th.<br />
<br />
We've got an exciting and busy summer ahead of us!<br />

As of today, most of the greens are about 75% melted and they appear to have come through the winter in good shape. I plan on meeting with Todd with ProTurf Systems next week sometime, so I will have a report and our plan going forward for the care of our greens.<br />
<br />
We have been busy out on the course taking ropes down, helping water move down towards the creek and continuing with our tree removal and trimming. We have removed the line of ash trees on the left of #13 fairway that were a few feet away from the cottonwood row. This will allow for better golf shots, less time mowing and string trimming, and hopefully help the health of the turf in this area. More than 50% of these ash trees were declining in health as they were growing directly into the cottonwood trees.<br />

We removed about 8 other trees around #4, #12, and #14 this past week. All of this tree removal will require stump grinding, which will take place in a few weeks here when the ground dries up more. </div>

It's hard to set an exact opening date at this point, but the extended forecast has excellent snow melting temperatures in it and we aren't far away from the golf season. The course will take a few days to soak in all of the water once the snow is gone and then we will be ready for play. I will keep everybody posted on our progress and I hope that everyone is excited for a great season at the GFCC!</div>

We finished cleaning up the ash trees that we cut down on the
left side of #4. This will help the turf thrive in this area as it has always
been very thin from all of the shade. It also will be much easier for our rough
mowers to mow in this area. We also limbed up the cottonwoods as high as our pole saw will allow us. <o:p></o:p></div>

On #11, we limbed up and removed a few trees on the left side at the dogleg. This area was way too crowded with trees. Many were
showing signs of it as half of them were starting to die. <o:p></o:p></div>

Another area that we have spent quite a bit of time trimming
trees at is on the right side of #9 along the cart path. There were a few large
ash trees hanging over the cart path and fairway that needed to be limbed up.
One of them had a large split in it that was an accident waiting to happen.
This trimming should help golfers from the tee box see where their ball lands
if they hit off to the right. <o:p></o:p></div>

We will continue to work on our tree trimming list along the

It’s been a while since I last wrote a blog, so I decided I
would take a crack at it again and update everyone about what is going on with
the GFCC Maintenance Staff. I will try my best to do more frequent, short blogs
to keep everyone aware of what is going on throughout the season.</div>

Meet the GFCC Mechanic:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In late August, I hired Derian Byfuglien as our course
mechanic. Derian is from Roseau, MN and has his four-year degree from UND in
Business Management. Derian comes from a background of large equipment
operation and maintenance from his family owned business back is Roseau. He has
spent many hours in our shop learning and working on every piece of equipment
that we own. Derian will be a huge benefit to me and the club, as this will
allow me to spend more hours on the golf course during the golf season. The mechanic
position is also a very important position because we have well over 30 pieces
of equipment that need daily attention and tune ups. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have been quite busy in the shop since the golf season
came to an end. We have sharpened all 23 reel blades that we have with our new
reel and bedknife grinders. These pieces of equipment replaced our 27-year-old
grinders that were not very accurate and were inefficient for our operation. As
a result, this will help keep our turf healthier, as dull mower blades tear the
turf plant causing issues such as disease. <o:p></o:p></div>

We have changed oil, filters, hydraulic fluid, fuel filters
and any broken parts that were necessary to replace on our equipment. Besides
the new reel and bedknife grinders that we purchased in the fall, we also
replaced a few other pieces of equipment. We traded one of our 1997 large
utility vehicles for a new one, we traded our oldest rough mower for a new
rough mower, and replaced the range picker cart with a much better utility
vehicle. None of this would be possible without our great membership, so thank
you to everyone for supporting your club! I am grateful that we are able to
replace a few of our very dated equipment pieces about every five years. <o:p></o:p></div>

Finally, Derian and I have spent a few of the 30 degree days
that we have had this winter cutting down and trimming trees around the course.
The greens committee went out in October to look at trees around the course
that have overgrown over the years, are playability issues or are visually
unappealing and marked them with an X. This number was about 30-40 trees, so it
will take some time to remove them. We will continue this large task to make
our golf course great. <o:p></o:p></div>

I am pleased with the amount of snow cover that we have on
our greens so far, this winter. The greens haven’t had much ice buildup and
they are insulated pretty well. Keep an eye out for updates in the very near
future about the conditions of our greens coming out of winter and our plans
for the upcoming season.</div>

During the night after the Wild Hog tournament, a fuse in the 3 phase transformer that powers the irrigation system and building blew out. I had Nodak Electric at the golf course as soon as I could on Friday. They tried replacing the fuse, but there was too much damage and corrosion (from previous floods) in the transformer that it needed to be replaced. They spent a good portion of that Friday replacing the transformer, only for us to find out later that afternoon that a component in the irrigation system panel had been wrecked from the outage. I got that part ordered ASAP Friday afternoon, but didn't receive it until Tuesday. Once our electrician and I got that part replaced, we started the pumps up, only to find that our larger 40 horse power pump motor had burned out.<br />
<br />
We are fortunate enough to have our smaller 20HP pump working, so that I can still run a few irrigation zones at a time. Although, one small 20HP pump is not even close enough to irrigate the entire course in one night.<br />
<br />
This was not an ideal time for our pumps to stop working (there isn't an ideal time for it to happen ever), but we were fortunate to get some rain this past week. We also spent many hours using our tractor and water tanks to keep our greens and tees alive. Our fairways have really only received rain water since the day our pumps went out and have shown a few areas of drying up, but these will bounce back with a little time.<br />
<br />
We did have some localized dry spots pop up on various greens that steamy Friday when the pump station went down, but most spots have healed up nicely with just a few to go. I assure you that we are doing everything possible to heal the greens up. We have applied a wetting agent to help push water down thru the thatch layer and down to the roots on our greens and tees.<br />
<br />
Our 40HP pump motor is currently being rebuilt in Fargo, and should be done sometime mid week. I will get it installed and running as soon as I get it back. This incident shows how important a properly working irrigation system is to a golf course!Collin Cannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09885677363091652667noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1477962812014917672.post-25459769761429163732017-03-12T17:40:00.001-07:002017-03-12T17:40:15.397-07:00Busy Shop Season<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s been a busy winter at the GFCC maintenance facility. I
was fortunate enough to hire the superintendent from Ray Richard’s Golf Course
for a few months to help me prepare all our equipment for the upcoming golf
season. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It is every superintendent’s dream to bring in brand new
equipment to the fleet every year, but that isn’t always financially possible. Though,
we are fortunate to be able to bring in a few new pieces every few years. In
the meantime, our current equipment needs to be gone thru with a fine-tooth comb.
Both of our fairway mowers received brand new reel stock, bearings and seals in
all ten reels. The previous reels lasted ten mowing seasons and it was time to
replace. </div>

Two of our most used pieces of equipment on the golf course are our
large area rough mowers. Both mowers run between 30-40 hours per week during
the entire golf season. They run at full throttle and on rough terrain most of
the time. This results in a lot of wear and tear on parts. We replaced many
bearings, bushings, seals and worn down parts on both machines. </div>

The radiators were taken out on the fairway and rough mowers to get thoroughly cleaned and to have any leaks welded shut. Every piece of
equipment also got all fluids and filters replaced. All our reels have been
sharpened and we just need to wrap up some course accessory painting. Not only
is it important to prepare the equipment now, but it is equally important to
continue daily maintenance on the equipment all summer long. <o:p></o:p></div>

I was very pleased with the amount of snow cover that we had
throughout the winter months. Some of our greens had 2+ feet of snow on them.
Before our big melt in February, we had little to no ice out on the course.
This is ideal for smaller amounts of dead turfgrass in the spring. I also believe
that our early melt will help our flood chances throughout the spring. If we
can avoid any large snow and rain events, we should stay clear of the river
coming up thru the course. <o:p></o:p></div>

It does look like some warmer temperatures are coming soon,
so if we can avoid any flooding, we can get the course opened at a decent time.
I am looking forward to trying out some different cultural practices out on the
golf course this season and completing some projects to keep our golf course
the best in the area.</div>

It’s hard to believe that the golf season has been over for
one month now and we are well into what seems like it could be a cold and snowy
winter. We were extremely fortunate to have a seven and a half month long golf
season for this part of the country, and I couldn't believe how great the weather was this fall. With that being said, the grounds crew was able to clean up
about 98% of the leaves on the course, do a little tree trimming, and start on
the driving range tee box renovation.<br />

We decided to build a retaining wall between the top driving
range tee box and new asphalt parking lot. Along with the new yellow stripes, this
retaining wall will provide even more organization for parking golf carts up at
the range. We received a generous donation of about 80 yards of topsoil to
build up the top range tee so that it will now be more level for hitting from.
We also plan to pull in another irrigation line and add a few irrigation heads
for better watering coverage. We will complete this part and the grass grow in
as soon as we can in the spring. <o:p></o:p><br />

Shop season has begun and we are in full swing of getting
all of the equipment ready for next golf season. Every single piece of
equipment that we own will come in the shop for an oil and hydraulic fluid change,
replacement of broken parts and greasing. We will also sharpen and grind all of
the mower blades and reels. Our aged fairway and rough mowers will be getting some
serious time in the shop this winter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
are going to rebuild all ten of our fairway mower reels as they are no longer able to be
sharpened from 10 years of use. Both rough mowers see about 30 hours of use per
week during the golf season and need some replacement parts in the decks. Beyond that, all of our course accessories will get a fresh coat of paint and polyurethane for next golf season. <o:p></o:p></div>

As many of you probably aren’t thrilled about the 20” of snow so far
that we have received, I am very relieved by it. It has provided our turf with
much insulation to hopefully survive all winter and come into spring healthy. We
have already had about a week and a half of zero and below temperatures, and
the snow we have received is doing its job by keeping our turf at a safe temperature.

The grounds crew has been very busy and will continue to be until we close the course up for the season. We completed fall aeration on greens and tees and I am very pleased with how well everything has healed up.<br />
<br />
With limited staff, we have been trying to keep up with daily set up as best as we can. Some areas of the course may not get mowed until later in the morning or afternoon only because we are short with fall staff. On that note, with cooler temperatures and less daily sunlight, the growth of the turfgrass has started to slow down. We are mowing less due to this as well.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">About 75% of the leaves on #3 have already fallen, but many other trees on the course are just starting to change colors</td></tr>

<br />
During this time of the year, bunkers can be a lot more work than usual. They tend to fill up with leaves and we aren't able to go out and rake them while full of leaves. We will continue to do our best to send out a few employees when possible to blow the leaves out of the bunkers, mulch the leaves with a rough mower and then complete a full bunker raking.<br />
<br />
The list is very long for the grounds crew for the rest of the fall. Besides daily set up, greens, rough, fairway and tee mowing, we have a lot of course accessories to take down and critical snow mold preventative spray applications to complete. We have to blow out the irrigation system towards the end of October, pull the fountain, river and pond pumps in and continue to mulch up all of the leaves that are falling and will continue to fall thru the next month. Also, every piece of equipment needs to be pressure washed before it gets too cold so that each piece can come in to the shop for winter maintenance. We hope to begin a driving range dress up project and finish limbing up some pines throughout the golf course.<br />
<br />
It is very important to send the turfgrass into winter on a healthy note so it can survive our harsh winters in Grand Forks. We will continue our fall fertilization program and complete our snow mold preventative applications towards the end of October.<br />
<br />
In my opinion, this is the best time of the year to come out and play our picturesque golf course, so come enjoy our last month of golf at GFCC!<br />

Some of the staff will stay on part time, but I will be doing some more part time hiring for the fall. We will continue to do our best at keeping our golf course in tip top shape on a daily basis. Some things may not be done as often, such as string trimming and bunker raking, but these things will still get done throughout the fall. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We completed a light topdressing and spike on the greens August 5th. These light topdressings help the overall health of the turfgrass. The other benefits include a smooth roll, increased firmness, and thatch reduction. We do have our fall aeration on greens scheduled for August 30th. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This past week we removed a few large dead trees on the course and rented a stump grinder for a day. We ground 10 stumps, filled the holes in with soil and laid sod on these spots.</div>

We have been very fortunate not to have to run our irrigation system nearly as much this season as we have in the past. Our pond has stayed full for the past month without any pumping. We have already received just under 15" of rain this season. It has come at good times, as we haven't had to pump much water off of the course.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We have a few small projects planned for the fall that I hope to complete. This will all depend on the amount of staff that I have and timing. The course is in great condition so come on out to enjoy the last few months of golf!</div>

The Tuesday evening storm brought us 2.4” of rain at the

current with our fungicide preventative applications that we haven’t really had
any issues yet.<o:p></o:p></div>

We had wind gusts up to 50 mph, but we only lost half of a
large ash tree and a few small branches on the course. When I took a drive thru
the golf course around 9:30 pm after the storm, there was standing water
everywhere. Fairways such as 4, 6, 11, and 1 looked more like small lakes than
fairways. Luckily, most of the water had soaked in overnight and we only had to
run a few pumps for the morning hours.</div>

It’s hard to believe that it is already the middle of the
golf season. The weather, for the most part, has been cooperative over these
past few months with only a few “dry spells” and the grounds crew has been
working very hard at getting the golf course dialed in for many more days of
golf this year.</div>

We were fortunate to have about 5” of rain in the month of
May and beginning of June as we came into the season very dry. We started to
get very dry again the later part of June and had to start the river pump back
up to fill the pond. That river pump has been a huge benefit for us, except
when a 500lb waterlogged tree was jammed up against the pipe last week. That
made it my first swim in the Red River. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Other than daily course set up and keeping up with the fast
growing grass, the grounds crew has been very busy with sod work, string
trimming, tree and pine tree trimming and various other course projects. We
have also been busy with and will continue to add sand to a number of our
bunkers that are low so that they have a consistent amount throughout. After
each rainstorm, we have to spend extra time on bunkers moving sand back up the
face where it has washed down. The crew has kept the bunkers in immaculate shape
this season. <o:p></o:p></div>

Greens aeration was completed on June 30th and has already
greatly improved the health of the turf and playing conditions. This process
removes compaction and the thatch layer (living and dead organic matter) that
builds up in the layer under the turfgrass plant. It promotes deeper root
growth and allows water and oxygen to get down to the roots of the plant. This
aeration has helped with ball roll and to prevent localized dry spots from
appearing on greens.</div>

To sum up this post, I want to thank my grounds crew. Without
this great group of college-aged employees, the golf course would not look as
great as it does, and I can’t thank them enough for their hard work and
dedication. Many people do not understand how much work goes into keeping a
golf course look as great as ours does. We took advantage of last Thursday
afternoon without a tournament at the course and enjoyed a much deserved
employee scramble.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The warm temperatures have arrived quick this 2016 season
and the snow is just about completely melted. The course should be dry enough to play on
very soon. We were very fortunate to have a much milder winter this year than
2015. We began winter with decent temperatures and a few snow falls of about 3” each in late December
and that kept the turf insultated until the end of January. Much of that snow
melted the last part of January and into February, which did create some ice on
the greens, but that only lasted about a month or less. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before we got this inch of snow on the 17<sup>th</sup>, I
did check many of the greens to see how the bentgrass and Poa did over the
winter. The bentgrass looks great. In some cases the Poa does look like it will
return. Although, on some greens where it was under ice a little bit longer, it looks
like we will be slit seeding bentgrass into those areas as well as removing
dead Poa and laying sod from our bentgrass nursery. <o:p></o:p></div>

Shop season:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were very busy in the shop and clubhouse during our short
winter. We spent a lot of time going through every single piece of equipment
that we own. We changed oil, greased parts, replaced old bearings and broken
parts, and put a sharp edge on all of our cutting units. Some pieces of
equipment spent more time in the shop than others. We have some very old
equipment that required more replacement parts and some newer equipment that
just needed an oil change, tune up and blade sharpening. Hopefully as a club,
we can continue to replace some of those older pieces of equipment that
continually require replacement parts as the equipment has seen many thousands
of hours of wear and tear on the golf course each season. <o:p></o:p></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is the Constant Velocity Joint on our 4WD Workman, which drives the wheels and accommodates for the up and down motion of the suspension. Our Workman is vital to our fleet as we use it to top dress greens and it is the only piece of equipment we have that we can use to pull our heavy top dresser. We took apart the front axle housing and CV joints on the Workman to replace boots, bearings and greased everything up. </td></tr>

Beyond fine tuning the equipment for the 2016 season, Justin
and I spent a few weeks in the clubhouse with Doug renovating a section of the
kitchen and painting the downstairs. Both of these projects turned out great
and will make a huge impact on the appearance and operation of our dated
clubhouse.</div>

Coming up:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The forecast does show some cooler weather for the next 7-14 days,
but we hope to get the course open for play as soon as possible. As soon as the
fairways and rough dry up enough to drive and play on with out damaging turf,
we will allow golfers to come out and enjoy an early season. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We do have a few minor course projects planned beyond normal
course maintenance this upcoming spring. I hope to have a few staff members
help with finishing up some bunker drainage and possibly a new landscape around
the club entrance sign. Also, as soon as our bentgrass nursery is ready to cut,
we will begin the annual collar sodding projects around greens. This is
necessary to remove as much Poa annua from the collars and greens as possible.
We are going to lay some of our bentgrass sod into some of our struggling
greens areas as well, such as the left side of #6 green. This is extremely necessary as
some areas on the left side of that green have been unputtable the last few
seasons.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

I look forward to the 2016 golf season and to continue to keep
the Grand Forks Country Club golf course in the absolute best condition. <o:p></o:p></div>

skiff of snow on the golf course. The 2015 golf season has come to an end and
it was another great year at GFCC.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<br />
We have completed all of our course preparations for the
winter and have begun to bring the equipment into the shop for winter
maintenance. The fairways, greens, collars, approaches and tees were sprayed
with a snow mold preventative fungicide a few weeks ago and are all well into
winter dormancy. We got all of the course accessories taken down, irrigation
system blown out and leaves mulched up. The last step was to lightly topdress
the greens to act as a blanket for the turf and put up snow fence around many
greens to collect snow as insulation for the cold winter months.<br />

We will now be busy greasing, changing fluids, sharpening
mower blades and reels and fine tuning all of the equipment so it is ready to
go first thing in the spring. These pieces of equipment go through a lot of
wear and tear throughout the season and it is essential that every single piece
of equipment gets a thorough check over. Some of our equipment is 10+ years old
and will need more attention than some of our newer equipment. For example, our
2007 rough mower sees use of about 500-700 hours per season. The parts on the mower decks are constantly moving on hard terrain all season long and begin
to wear out to the point of replacement. We will replace these parts as necessary to
make sure that our equipment fleet is running at its full potential next golf
season. These vital pieces of equipment are what make the Grand Forks Country
Club such a beautiful place to be at.</div>

Leaf cleanup is in full swing and has become a daily battle.
Our pull behind leaf blower and two large rough mowers have been and will be
used everyday until the end of the season. When the wind isn’t howling, it is
pretty easy to clean the greens, tees and fairways off, but the bunkers can be
a bit more challenging. It takes a couple of staff members to fully blow the
leaves out of the bunkers and then complete the raking process. The difficult
part of that this season is that our staff size is quite low and blowing the
leaves out of the bunkers blows a lot of sand out of the bunker and into the grass. As well, if we do
not follow the bunker crew around with a rough mower, the leaves tend to blow
right back into the bunkers. This is definitely a difficult task and we will
continue to do our best to keep the bunkers clean and playable. <o:p></o:p><br />

As for the turf, the growing season is coming to an end soon. We have had one morning of 30 degrees and frost and another morning of 28
degrees. The process for the turf to go dormant for the winter has begun. To
keep the turf as healthy as possible for going into winter, we have begun to
raise the mowing heights and reduce the frequency of mowing. With less sunlight and cooler soil temperatures the turf is not growing very much. In a few weeks we will spray all greens, tee boxes and fairways with a snow mold preventative fungicide to protect the grass in the winter months. <o:p></o:p><br />

Come out and enjoy the course as this is the most gorgeous time of the year!<br />

After a very dry August and scrambling for water to fill our
irrigation pond, we finally have our new river pump up and running. With just
under 3 inches of rain and many warm days, irrigating was a must for almost
every day during the month of August.<o:p></o:p></div>

Before Sam headed for Colorado, he set up an electric pump to
pump water underground from the pond on the left of 14 fairway to our
irrigation pond. This was very beneficial as we did not have to continuously fill
a gas pump every two hours to keep filling our irrigation pond and we didn’t
have to listen to the loud motor running all day long. This pump set up is only a short term solution to our pond filling needs as the pond on the left
side of 14 is getting quite low as well and the water isn't exactly ideal for
irrigating the golf course. <o:p></o:p></div>

Our previous river pump had been put in briefly and taken
out of the river for maintenance issues every summer for the past 4 years. It
was not the correct type of pump for fulfilling our water needs. We decided to
get a 20 horsepower centrifugal motor drive pump to set down by the river
behind the maintenance shop. This pump can run as long as we need it to to fill
our irrigation pond and it pumps roughly 450 gallons per minute. On a full
night of irrigation we use somewhere around 300,000 gallons of water on the
golf course. With this pump, we can put this amount of water back into our pond
in one night. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We began the process of setting up the pump by removing a
large tree that hung over the river and was in the way for our river pump line.
Thanks to Florian and Sons for helping us out with this. We then hauled in some
dirt to level the area out and set up the pump and our river line.<o:p></o:p></div>

This pump will greatly help us out the rest of the fall,
especially if it continues to be dry. Without this pump and water for irrigating, we would be playing golf on dead grass and dirt.<br />
We will take the pump lines out of the river and store the pump for the

<div class="MsoNormal">
First and foremost, let me introduce myself to those who do
not know me. I am originally from Hutchinson, MN, which is about 60 miles west
of Minneapolis. I attended college at North Dakota State University in Fargo
where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Turfgrass Management. I have
previously worked for the Crow River Golf Club in Hutchinson and at Bully
Pulpit Golf Course in Medora, ND. I am pleased to be your interim
superintendent for the time being and I am confident that my crew and I will
keep the Grand Forks Country Club in pristine shape for the remainder of the
season. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As we all miss Sam and his family, I believe that he set me
up for success here at GFCC. I have gained a considerable amount of knowledge
and learned many valuable skills from him the past year and a half.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We all know that at this time in the year staffing is always
hard to come by. With school starting a week ago, I lost a few of my staff members
and all of the others cut their hours in half. I have been able to hire a few
more part time workers, but have only one other full time staff member. With
that being said, there may be some days during the week where we are mowing
later in the day rather than early in the morning for staff reasons. I apologize
for any inconvenience this may cause. We will do our absolute best to keep the
course looking as good as it does now. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have completed greens and tee aeration for the fall. This
is a very beneficial time to aerate. Aeration will help us get the turf healthy
for the remainder of fall and into winter. The holes we created provide oxygen
deep down to the root system of the turf. Aeration also relieves soil
compaction and breaks up the organic layer that is under the turf. The greens
will be a little bumpy and sandy for a few days, but with extra rolling and
water, we will have the greens back to normal very soon. <o:p></o:p></div>

Within 5 days, the river crested at just under 50', I was boating to the maintenance shop, sleeping in the clubhouse at night filling up pumps on the dike, and wondering what I had got myself into. Fortunately, the river has mostly behaved since then, and we've been able to make a lot of progress on the course.<br />
<br />
It has been a pleasure being the Superintendent here, the GFCC has been a great "project" course for me. When I arrived it was very evident from day one that this was a great golf course, just needed some serious attention and some updates to start bringing it back to life. We made a lot of progress on the course since then, but there is still obviously a lot of work left to do.<br />
<br />
I think I have taken over 5,000 pictures of the course since I have been here, so I will finish off this blog with some of my favorites. This has been a great communication tool for me to help all of you really understand the amount of hard work and dedication the grounds crew puts into making this course what it is. It's Collin's now, so be sure to look for some of his updates on the course this fall.<br />

<br />
Last fall you may all remember that we did some extensive work to the green by heavily seeding it with bentgrass and very gently coaxing the bad areas on it back to health. We also went along the left side of the green last fall with a trencher and cut all of the cottonwood roots that were growing up under the green and sucking all the water and nutrients out of it.<br />
<br />
This spring 6 green was in great shape, almost amazingly good shape considering how bad some of the other greens looked. At that point I was convinced that all the work we had done last fall had worked. I started to notice however in May that a lot of the new bentgrass seedlings started to choke out and a lot more Poa annua was starting to come back in. Then, by about the beginning of June the same areas on the green started declining again. <br />
<br />
Everywhere on 6 green where we are seeing areas die are all Poa annua. We starting cutting way back on the growth regulator on it, whereas the rest of the greens we kept on our growth regulator program that is helping us keep the Poa annua in check. To be completely honest, I really don't know why the Poa annua in 6 green keeps dying, when it just turns a little yellow and sunken on the rest of the greens.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is the area on the left side of the green that we roped off and heavily seeded last fall. As you can see, there is<br />
a lot of bentgrass in there, but all of the Poa areas die amazingly fast here for some reason.</td></tr>

annua surrounding this area is still alive, but definitely not doing too well.</td></tr>

Last fall I took soil samples from all of the bad areas on this green and had them tested for salinity, nutrient availability, and soil structure. All tests came back just fine. <br />
<br />
At this point, based on the fact that we are seeing all of the bentgrass not only survive, but thrive in this green, the only logical solution I can come up with is to just keep sodding out all of the dead or dying areas on the green with sod from our nursery when it becomes available next spring. The rest of the summer and fall we will continue to baby the bad spots on the green with some extra water and fertilizer, and less frequent mowing and rolling, and see if we can get some decent recovery.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
