Welcome to my Turfgrass blog! Actually this isn't just a turf management blog, its more of a journal of my activities in my new home of Teton Village, Wyoming. For starters, I'm 21 years old, Rutgers Turf Student, Intern at Shooting Star Golf Club, golfer, snowboarder, foodie, and much much more.
Now lets move on to the golf course. Today I began my day my repairing and testing our fertigation system. At Shooting Star, fertigation is our main source of food for out plants. The system works by utilizing six tanks that are connected to our irrigation system. When we decide that the grass needs to be feed we turn on the agitation pumps and begin pumping the "juice" into the irrigation lines. Using proper fertigation systems leads to less time and labor spent on manually applying fertilizer.
While in the process, I managed to record my first injury of the year! Remember always use a clean box cutter when slicing hoses!
Later in the day I checked greens 3, 6-10 for elk traffic marks and other divots. THe proecess for fixing the divots included:
1. Identification
2. Fix with divot tool
3.Add black sand to warm soil up
4. Hope it works!
