I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about one of the many ways that we have lowered our environmental impact and improved our chemical applications this year. We have started applying pesticides manually through a practice of walk spraying greens. This process is very efficient and precise. Our new greens spraying program has allowed us to spray greens in multiple directions, reduce compaction and tire marks on greens, and reduce our pesticide use by 19.3%! As seen in the picture above, we wear a lot of personal protective equipment when applying these products. That is due to the fact that we are in direct contact with these products during application. Once applied, these products are very safe and environmentally friendly.
While fertilizers and pesticides are necessary to grow and promote healthy turf, our precise use and extra efforts have saved money, lowered our impact, and improved our product. Thank you for supporting us in this cause and we will continue to work towards a healthy, enjoyable, and environmentally friendly golf course.
