Less than three years ago, the current management team from Stillmeadow Turf and Maintenance embarked on a new journey to rebuild our club to reclaim past glories. The course in general, with an emphasis on the greens, was in need of a much improved maintenance plan. All of the greens needed attention, but one of the worst had to be #2 green.
The following photos are from #2 green in the early spring of 2012.
These photos are of #2 green now! We think you will like the improvement!
The Stillmeadow Turf and Maintenance staff has greatly appreciated the support of the entire membership at the club. The nice words, emails, calls and gifts have meant more than you could possibly know. It has been awesome to hear that our members have even had positive words to those outside the club as some of it returns full circle. It can sometimes be easy to forget how far we have come as a golf course and a club. Pictures like these can be a positive reminder of that. It can also be a reminder of what the course/greens could return to if aren't on our game. The practices we preform such as analyzing, mowing, rolling, blowing, spraying, fertilizing, watering, stimping, manually removing weeds, verticutting, topdressing, aeration and brushing can be tedious and sometimes even slightly invasive to the game of golf. However, they are invaluable to maintain the improved conditions that we have all come to enjoy and may even be taking for granted at our club. Rest assured that as a maintenance team we plan to continue "grinding" to ensure that we do everything in our power to provide consistent and highly enjoyable course conditions.
Thanks again for your support of our maintenance team and our club!
