This morning we mowed greens at .180" and followed that with sand (topdressing), gypsum and fertilizer applications. Our staff is also renovating the left fairway bunker on #9, aerating and seeding fescue areas, and converting poor areas and unused mulch beds to turf. They will also be edging cart paths, sprinkler heads, and tee yardage plates. Greens and bunkers were edged last week to prevent bermuda grass infiltration. As temperatures continue to drop and bermuda grass growth slows, we will see less and less of a need to edge the bermuda grass runners.

| Our staff turns the walk mowers on lattice to reduce mechanical damage to the bermuda collars as the TifSport enters dormancy. This process is done October - May to prevent damage when the TifSport is not aggressively growing. Greens were mowed at .180" today. We are closing in on our target goal of a .150" winter height of cut. |

| Following mowing, greens were topdressed with rotary spreaders at a rate of 180 lbs of sand./1000ft2. |
