Golf Course Maintenance Mike Epps Golf Course Superintendent Happy Labor Day! The Mr. & Mrs. Club Championship, Ladies Sr. Club Championship and The Classic makes September a great month for golf. We have finished the last scheduled greens aeration of the season and are in good shape as we start towards fall. The putting surface is healing in nicely after our deep tine aeration. We will continue our regular vertical mowing and topdressing to remove grain, improve smoothness and ball roll speed. As fall approaches we will target our fertility program to promote good root growth, and energy storage to prepare the grass for winter. The recent aeration allowed us to apply gypsum and then deep water the greens, which flushed the salts below the root zone. We follow this up with a custom fertilizer application that has key nutrients that drive roots down. A strong root system is ultimately what helps us transition next spring. If you are having guest come play the course over Labor Day weekend or any time soon, please let them know about our golf course culture and etiquette. Over fill your divots, fix your ball mark and please use a pull push rack method if you have to play out of a sand bunker. Remember, it s your golf course so please help us keep it nice for your enjoyment. I look forward to seeing you out on the golf course soon, and my goal is to have golf course in the best condition possible every day for your enjoyment. If you have any questions or concerns please call or e-mail me (817-294-6615, mepps@miravistacountryclub.com ) or come ride the course with me, you might be surprised what you will see and learn. Thank you for your time. Mike Epps Golf Course Superintendent Employee Spotlight Landon Bauman Meet Landon! He was born and raised in Fort Worth.
