GROUNDS UPDATE
Twin Isles Maintenance Update,
The golf course has been full of golfers nearly every day this year. It has been the start of
a great season at Twin Isles. Since the last newsletter, we have received .5” of rain in
December, 1.5” of rain in January, and .95” of precipitation so far for February. The
forecast is not calling for any rain soon, so we are hoping that changes and we can get
some more rain to fill the ponds back up to give us enough water to get through the
droughty winters that commonly occur in this area in Florida.
The ryegrass overseed that we applied in November has established very well, and the
fairways and tees are holding up very nicely with all of the extra traffic that we have
gotten from increased rounds this year. We have started spraying our fairways and tees
monthly with a foliar fertilizer to keep the ryegrass going through the season. During the
first week in February, we used our first application of a pre-emergent herbicide and
fertilizer to the golf course. This pre-emergent application will help to prevent weed
seeds from germinating in turfgrass. The target of these applications is to get the product
down before the weeds start emerging when the weather does warm up. We will be
applying another application at the end of March and a third application to follow in June.
During February, we also applied mulch to the clubhouse area and refreshed the mulch in
the parking lot. We will be receiving more mulch to finish the parking lot in the next few
weeks. Some other things that we are planning on accomplishing over this winter will be
to refresh all of the beds and waste areas we have around the course. We will be starting
around the tee sign areas and working our way throughout the course. With the
increased rounds that we have had this year, we ask that you please remember to fill
your divots and repair ball marks on the greens. When you are waiting to putt, please fix
your ball mark, and one more would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Preston Stephenson
