Winding down to winter

As we get closer and closer to closing for the season (60 days or so) we have a lot to do to get things buttoned up. We have sprayed our clover and broad leaf weeds for seeding preparations. We then proceed to slice seed in about 4000 lbs of seed in the fairways and fertilized them. There are always a few places where the weeds are stubborn but with time and dedication we will eradicate those pesky plants.
(Slice seeding and verticutting #7)

We are applying granular fertilizers to the greens as foliar is not as effective or even needed. The outside restrooms have been closed for the season however, the maintenance barn restroom is open and the portable restroom on #5 tee is open as well. We will be winterizing the irrigation system within the next few weeks and we will be renovating #18 right, greenside bunker.
