Course Update 4.9.26

Panorama of DAC Holes 1, 10, 1, and 6

We received approximately 2" of rain over the Easter weekend, much of which fell in a short period of time. While the moisture was certainly beneficial, the intensity of the rainfall resulted in washed bunkers and a significant amount of debris across both courses. Crews have been actively addressing these areas and continue to make steady progress on cleanup.

The combination of rainfall and mild temperatures has been ideal for allowing our bentgrass greens to recover quickly from aeration over the past two weeks. Overall playing conditions continue to improve each day as greens are now 90 percent healed.

In addition to cleanup efforts, the team made continued progress on aesthetic improvements to the cart barn, completed fertilizer and preventative weed control applications across nearly 200 acres, and performed tree work on several holes throughout the property.

Looking ahead to next week, we plan to grind more than a dozen remaining stumps, install sod in several areas, and continue advancing landscape improvements, beginning with enhancements around the Tennis Facility. We will also continue preparing for the Big 12 Championship which comes to the Gold Course on less than two weeks!
