Clubhouse News 704-289-4561 From the Greens Superintendent Greg McDanel, CGCS W e will close the golf course the week of July 9 th to do course maintenance.

We will apply fertilizer and other nutrients to promote plant health. This is the second core aeration that we will do on the greens this year.

9 Clubhouse News From the Greens Superintendent Greg McDanel, CGCS W e will close the golf course the week of July 9 th to do course maintenance. The greens will be verticut and aerated with coring tines. Sand will be used to fill the holes and help smooth the greens. It will take about two weeks for the greens to heal from aeration. We will apply fertilizer and other nutrients to promote plant health. This is the second core aeration that we will do on the greens this year. Tees, fairways, and roughs will be aerated with ¾ inch tines starting July 11 th. The cores will be broken up with mowers and the remaining debris will be blown off. Our irrigation pump station incurred damage from a storm in June which knocked out the drive for the 60 hp pumps. We were not able to irrigate for 5 days in June. The greens dried out which caused some thinning but they have recovered since the drive was repaired and we were able to irrigate. The maintenance pump is not performing and will be replaced. The staff has been busy preparing for July tournaments and pruning trees and shrubbery. We have four new employees; Robbie Kees, Sam Perry, Joel Moran, and Richie Gonzalez. You will see them around the Club. Teddy Strickland has completed 30 years of service at Rolling Hills. I am truly grateful and appreciative of all Teddy has done for Rolling Hills. He is by far one of the most valuable employees on the greens staff. Please remember to fill divots and fix ball marks! I hope everyone enjoys the golf course this summer!
