LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
St . Johns Members
First of all , I would like to say I am extremely excited to be here and looking forward to the opportunity of being a part of the team here at St . Johns Golf & Country Club . Andy left the golf course in great shape , so a big thanks to him . Agronomically we have a couple of large applications going on the golf course next month . A bulk fertilizer application is going out on the entire golf course as well as a preemergent application . The preemergent application is being blown into the turf canopy rather than being put out on a fertilizer prill . This method gives the most uniform coverage of the herbicide and does not need to be watered in immediately at the time application . We have had some extremely wet weather but all in all , the course has taken it well . The staff has put in a tremendous effort in keeping the sand traps pushed up and in playable condition .
We are looking forward to the upcoming season and the grass coming out of winter dormancy and starting to green up . Fingers crossed for some drier weather and sunshine .
Thanks ,
Mike O Malley
Superintendent
