#8 Gold Green after "grooming" on Thursday
|
It was a chilly start to the week, with light frost visible on roughs Monday morning. We applied fertilizer and a preventative herbicide to green surrounds, along with completing critical spray applications to all greens. We also lightly vertical mowed greens using groomers throughout the week—a practice that helps minimize the effects of grain on ball roll and promotes a denser, more uniform turf canopy. Crews made significant progress on exterior improvements at the cart barn. Our staff removed several unsightly shrubs, while our contractor continued replacing the metal trim and is planning to begin rock work by late next week. Additional work included maintenance of the water feature on #17 Gold, trimming of pampas grass, and landscape plantings.
On Monday and Tuesday we will be hosting the NTPGA Pro/Scratch Tournament. DAC will be represented by five pro/member teams in the event and we look forward to seeing them defend home turf against some of the best golfers in North Texas.

While golfers can expect sandy conditions throughout the week, we anticipate rapid recovery by next weekend. Looking ahead, fertilizer applications to tees, fairways, and roughs are planned over the next one to two weeks, along with aeration of high-traffic areas.
