Post aerification at Legacy Hills

The Legacy Hills post aerification clean up didn't go as well as it normally does this time around. We had mechanical problems with equipment and we were forced to stretch the process out an extra day. 
 The roller that we rented to smooth the greens out post aerification broke down on us and we could not get another one until Tuesday, this put everything out of order on the process and in turn made everything go less than perfect to say the least. We apologize for not posting this to the Blog sooner. 
After walking the greens earlier today I can safely say they are healing up nicely and will be in excellent shape in just a few more days.  
 Another topic that was recently asked about was in regards to a set of the blue tees on #12, we sprayed a selective herbicide to eradicate the goose grass on that tee, we do not spray Round Up on Bermuda grass due to the fact that it is a non-selective herbicide and it would kill everything. So all the yellowing turf you see are the results of us trying to get rid of the goose grass. That tee is receiving extra attention and will be back in use shortly. 
Cowan Creek will be aerified on Monday and we anticipate a much smoother clean up and recovery process. 
All of the greens at each course will be in great shape for the upcoming events of the fall season.
