How would I care for turf at a golf course?
2
Location/Original Characteristics

• The golf course that I want to take care of is
  located in Flandreau, SD.
• The course is 40 acres in size.
• The grass has nightly immobile irrigation in all
  areas
• The turf has heavy traffic

3
Greens

• Re-seed greens using creeping bent-grass
• Deep-tine greens for permeability and softness
• Brush in sand for added softness
• Aerate the greens monthly for nitrogen
• Mow them daily at 5/32 because bent grass will
  kill itself if you dont cut it every day.

4
Roughs

• Apply herbicide every summer to kill thistles and
  dandelions.
• Mow at 2.5 every 3 to 4 days
• Pick up the sticks

5
Fairways

• Mow at 5/16 2 times a week, Tuesdays and Fridays
• Apply fertilizer and herbicide in the spring
• Water nightly beginning at 9 oclock

Sand Traps

• Till with power tiller in the spring and fall
• Rake them every week
• Spray them to kill the grass seed
• Refill with sand every 2 years

8
Soil Charicteristics

• The soil characteristics are as follows
• Moderately coarse soil texture
• 10 12 inch deep soil depth
• The area is mostly flat but with elevated greens

Ground Preparation

• I would have to deep tine and aerate the lawns to
  reseed them. We dont do much else with planting
  things out there.

10
Maintenance

• I would have to
• Water
• Mow
• Fertilize
• Apply pesticides

11
Irrigation

• We have an automatic irrigation system
• Money for the system came for the director board
• Water comes from the water table from the Big
  Sioux
• Water every night during the growing season
  except when it rains.

Conclusion

• This is how I would take care of the golf
  course, and how we do it already. The only thing
  I would change is how old most of our mowers are.
  A couple of them barely putt around. Anyway, that
  was our presentation and I hope you enjoyed it.
