Rain and More Hot Weather

After 2.5 inches of rain since last Thursday, the golf course is looking much healthier. More rain is expected Tuesday along with a very hot weekend.  Water management is critical when as warm conditions promote several diseases.

Lost sprinklers found.  I was finally able to find 2 sprinklers on hole #3.  They were in the off position.  I was able to locate them by tracing a wire to each head.  I will now be able to water some new sod that was laid during bunker renovation.

Lalo attached the rough cut deck on our new Steiner mower.  Jose started to tackle the mess between 1 and 6 to today. 

New tee markers were installed today.  The top photo is the Billy Casper buffalo logo while the tree below represents the Centennial Park logo.

Bunkers Are Done

The Hollembeak crew with Lalo, Jose and myself.  These guys did a great job with our bunker renovation.  2.5 months with everything from snow to 90 degrees.  A couple bunkers will remain ground under repair for a week or 2.

This is our rookie Jason.  He's a student at IU in the Kelley School of Business.  His main job responsibilities include cup changing, bunkers and tee maintenance.

This is Orlando.  He's in his 4th season at Centennial.  Greens, tees, fairways and banks are his main jobs.

Jose is in his 2nd season at Centennial but he has over 10 years experience at Briar Ridge and Sand Creek.  He can do most jobs including driving our new bank mower.

A deer has been hanging around the last couple of weeks.

Bunker Renovation Nearing Completion

I'll be introducing the staff over the next couple of weeks.  This is Kevin.  His main jobs this season have been cup cutting, bunkers and now greens mowing.  He also has installed many of the bunker liners in our new bunkers.  Thanks for your hard work.

 Please fix your ball marks.  We had 2 employees spend 3 hours fixing them the other day.

 Expected finish to bunker renovation is next Friday.
