http://thebroadlandsgcmaintenance.blogspot.com/2012/06/grass-carp.html
The Broadlands Golf Course Maintenance Update. Sunday, June 17, 2012. We were able to add fish to the lakes on 3, 4, 5, 6, and 16. Close up of one of my new employees, his only job is to eat algae. Adding water slowly to the fish to get them acclimated to the temperature and pH of the water. Releasing the fish after they regulate to the water temperature. Lets hope our newest employees work hard and keep our water clean and algae free. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

WAKONDA GROUNDS: November 2013
http://wakondagrounds.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Constant pursuit of perfection. Friday, November 22, 2013. As you all left your homes this morning, you noticed a small layer of snow and ice covering the ground. Unfortunately, the time of year has arrived to prepare the golf course for winter. In the past few days, we began removing most of the course equipment from the golf course; this includes: tee markers, fairway and tee plaques, trash cans, benches, and ball washers. All of this equipment is stored in our maintenance facility and it will be r...

WAKONDA GROUNDS: October 2013
http://wakondagrounds.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Constant pursuit of perfection. Thursday, October 17, 2013. We've been hard at work on #12 this month. If you've been wondering what we're up to, the structure is going to be a new forward tee. The old tee is very small and gives players a very poor angle to the fairway due to the growth of trees located along the player's right. Old tee showing limited shot options. Building the base to elevate the new tee. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Golf Course Superintendent (17 years). Crew Foreman (14 years).
