Dinosaur Trail Turf Care: In a Nutshell
http://dinotrailturfcare.blogspot.com/2013/12/in-nutshell.html
Monday, 2 December 2013. 9 green snow cover - Nov 21. 1st cut on greens April 26th 2013. Flooding on the 18th fwy. As far as the golf course, we had our ups and downs. We were lucky to escape any serious flood damage, but the heavy rains and subsequent run off damaged turf, filled in drainage trenches, and caused substantial erosion on the back nine. We repaired as much of the damage as we could "in house" but with little to no money to make repairs, these areas will be problems in the spring.

Dinosaur Trail Turf Care: March 2014
http://dinotrailturfcare.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 9 March 2014. Hard to believe it has been over 3 months since I have updated this blog, and a few things have happened since December. In my personal life, Jenn and I got married on January 14. Down in the Mayan Riviera surrounded by 64 of our close family and friends. It was a week we will never forget, our wedding day was perfect, and we felt so lucky to have everyone celebrating with us in a beautiful location. Andrew putting new vinyl guard on the flagsticks. Keith grinding some fairway reels.

Dinosaur Trail Turf Care: First Day of Summer.....Where has the time gone???
http://dinotrailturfcare.blogspot.com/2014/06/first-day-of-summerwhere-has-time-gone.html
Saturday, 21 June 2014. First Day of Summer.Where has the time gone? The course came out of winter in good shape, with virtually no damage to putting greens, and minor snow mold damage to all other playing surfaces. Our tees and fairways continue to recover, but the lack of warm temperatures has definitely slowed down their recovery. We core aerated, overseeded, and topdressed our tee decks last week, with a solid tine aeration on fairways planned for the near future. Turf Care Team Enjoying a Friday BBQ.

http://dinotrailturfcare.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 6 August 2012. Boys stripping the sod off of 3 green. What the new sod on 9 looks like. The other night while out handwatering the new sod I had a good conversation with one of our members getting in a quick nine before dark. He quizzed me with afew questions I have heard before, even at my own family gatherings. The first one being "What I plan to do for the winter? And the second " It took you two years of college to learn how to grow grass? Bruce and his hole in one on 12.

Dinosaur Trail Turf Care: December 2012
http://dinotrailturfcare.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, 6 December 2012. As I look back and read all my blog posts from this past season, I feel like our team had a successful year. Being my first year as a Superintendent I really don't have anything to compare this year to, but I definitely feel satisfied with the progress we made on and off the golf course. I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season and a prosperous 2013. I look forward to seeing everyone at the course next season. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Drumheller, Ab, Canada.
