June is a great time to be at
Wakonda! The pool is now open,
tennis is in full swing and the golf
course is in prime condition. We
have concluded most of our spring
projects and now the focus
turns to providing championship
conditions on a daily basis.
Course Condition
Greens
We are in full swing with grooming,
rolling, topdressing and mowing the
putting surfaces – they putt and look
outstanding!
Fairways
The cool spring has delayed their
green-up, but they are now showing
maturity approaching their third
year since the re-grassing.
Bunkers
All bunkers have been checked
for proper sand depth. 48 tons of
new sand has been added to 12
of the 42 bunkers.
Yard Tip
Rough
Installation of new sod where
needed is complete – this includes
the first cut of rough.
In turn, your yard will be more
drought tolerant, free of weeds
and aesthetically pleasing.
Course Care
Did you know an improperly fixed
ball mark can take up 3 times longer
to heal than one not fixed at all?
The “Pitch-Pro” tools provided to
you are the best on the market – so
please use them to leave the green
surfaces better than you found them.
For a healthier lawn, raise the
mowing height all the way up. This
enables the grass plant to produce
more energy through photosynthesis. Questions?
E-mail me at johnt@wakondaclub.
com with any questions concerning
the golf course or general yard
maintenance.
Have a great June!
