Driving range tee is open @KPCCGC. It’s not perfect but it’s good enough to begin to use for the spring. A couple things you can do to help maximize the area & not go back to the mats:
1.) Stay in between the ropes
2.) Take proper divot patterns
Thank you for your cooperation!
Trees and tree removal on a golf course can be controversial topics. Using objective criteria to evaluate trees makes it easier to build consensus for management plans ➡️https://t.co/3EZdciUSeQ
Perks of the job: being outside on beautiful days like these. Spring aerification is way more fun when you have 40+ trees to clean up. Just ask our guy, Rich. #PunchingHoles#SpringIsOfficiallyHere
Golf courses all across the state of KY probably look a lot like this one this morning. We all have a long road ahead but fortunate to have a crew that already made the course playable for the Golf Week Junior Tour youth players this morning! @Leathersturf @BGCC1913
Today we give thanks for all the golfers that fix their ball marks and divots, rake bunkers, obey traffic signs, and wait for the maintenance staff to reach a safe area before hitting #Thanksgiving2022#happythanksgiving
Not often you get to play in sand wearing cover-alls. 10-14 got a deep rake with the sand pro, edge smoothing with the Acuform and pool noodle roller, & then a hand rake to finish it off. When the turf goes to sleep you gotta make something look nice.
@BGCC1913 members: this is unacceptable. Please attempt to fix ball marks as we head into a period of low growth. Even incorrectly repaired marks show an effort to keep the greens in shape. These pics are from hole 11’s green. Ironically, the one we get the most complaints over.
UPDATE: Gave her some water & she got up & walked around some. Went to go finish a job & when I got back she had gotten up & walked off, presumably to go home. Thanks for sharing.
Lost dog at @BGCC1913. Found on part of course near Garvin Ln & Richardsville Rd. She’s a sweet girl, doesn’t seem homeless. She’s moving gingerly & slowly. Help us find where she belongs. @joeimel @Leathersturf @robertg08872117
We’ve never formally sent out any communication to membership. Just used word of mouth & demonstration to members who we’ve seen rake them as we’re on the course during play. Thought eventually after seeing it for several months, they’d realize the edges were smooth for a reason.
Supers/assistants who switched to an Australian style bunker raking method recently:
How long was the adjustment period for membership? We switched 4-5 months ago & the members still don’t understand the smooth edge & not raking through it or walking out high side #Turf#Bunkers
Had an incredible time back at the old stomping ground @OldeStoneBG, volunteering for the USGA Girls’ Junior. Some long days over the last week but it was worth it to be a small part of showcasing Bowling Green to a worldwide audience. Thanks to @wyattwarfel for having us out!
@JacobThompsonnn KC has a huge soccer following. But the big mistake to do all 3 of NYC/Boston/Philly and not do either Nashville or Cincy. It’s all about $$$ for FIFA though and everything is more expensive in the northeast
