We packed as much into today as possible. Arborscapes began "crown cleaning" all of the trees in the parking lot and behind the clubhouse. Crown cleaning is the process of removing weak or dead wood from the canopy of the tree to promote a healthier, safer tree. Arborscapes also manages the fertility and pest population for our trees and treats accordingly. Chuck, Greg, Gerson, and Ruben removed 5 difficult trees and cleaned up the limbs that Arborscapes removed. Edgar, Ergidio and I installed close to 250 feet of irrigation including 3 heads. That project will be buttoned up tomorrow. Bobby, Kevin, Ryan, Reynol, Jorge and I applied a post emergent herbicide around all of the green complexes and about half of the fairways and tees. The rest of that application will finish up tomorrow as well. You should notice some green tracker dye around the greens that we use to mark our spray pattern. If you haven't seen a weather forecast lately, Tuesday and Wednesday look great for golf. Get out and play or at least practice. We will be mowing and rolling in anticipation of a busy tee sheet. Handicapped flags should be OK on most holes.

| Jorge and Reynol hold this board and walk around the green to prevent any chemical from being applied to the putting green surface. Bobby and Ryan then sprayed a post emergent herbicide with these special back pack applicators while Kevin and I tied in the rest of the green complexes, tees and fairways with the big sprayers. |
