Our Agronomist Makes BCC Visit

For the past 7 years or so, the BCC has had Dave Smith, Agronomist contracted to work with Lawrence, our Superintendent for the betterment of our golf course. And great results have been evident. Many will remember opening seasons with temporary greens and huge fairway glitches. Not so in recent years! Dave, (photo center) met with Lawrence (left), Green Chair Jack Alexander (right) and green committee and Board members to discuss the state of our course. Overall the nutrient level is "right on the money". The cultural management, i.e. Light; Water; Nutrients & Airflow is a balancing act and has been frustrating this year due to the very wet spring and inability to aerate although aerating is set to resume. Tree management is also extremely important for proper light and air flow and Dave will be detailing a go-forward tree management program for the BCC. The results of following Dave's recommendations for greens, fairways and trees over the years has been spectacular. The BCC looks forward to working with Dave for many years to come.
