Briane Faletto Class A Golf Course Superintendent
I hope everyone has enjoyed their summer at The Brickyard. We have been hard at work keeping the Golf Course in the best possible playing conditions. Our new skid steer came in and we have been busy clearing a lot of the overgrown areas around the course. As a safety note, if you ride up to an area where we are using this, please stay clear as debris is thrown very far distances. We edged all the bunkers on the course and sprayed them for any weeds that might be popping up. We verti-cut the tees and collars and fertilized them. Our normal weekly surface management was done on the greens. We have sprayed for those pesky summer time weeds. A lot of mowing and clean up.
We also had a company called Gold Mine Golf come in and help us with some ir-rigation issues. They went around to all our greens and raised the greens irrigation heads up and installed new nozzles. They also went around to certain holes and helped us replace some electric solenoids that were faulty. This has helped us be more efficient with our watering.
In August we prepare for the Dixie Classic. We want to showcase our course for some of Middle Georgia’s best golfers!
Hope to see everyone on the course!!!!!!
