WAKONDA GROUNDS: November 2013
http://wakondagrounds.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Constant pursuit of perfection. Friday, November 22, 2013. As you all left your homes this morning, you noticed a small layer of snow and ice covering the ground. Unfortunately, the time of year has arrived to prepare the golf course for winter. In the past few days, we began removing most of the course equipment from the golf course; this includes: tee markers, fairway and tee plaques, trash cans, benches, and ball washers. All of this equipment is stored in our maintenance facility and it will be r...

WAKONDA GROUNDS: October 2013
http://wakondagrounds.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Constant pursuit of perfection. Thursday, October 17, 2013. We've been hard at work on #12 this month. If you've been wondering what we're up to, the structure is going to be a new forward tee. The old tee is very small and gives players a very poor angle to the fairway due to the growth of trees located along the player's right. Old tee showing limited shot options. Building the base to elevate the new tee. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Golf Course Superintendent (17 years). Crew Foreman (14 years).

Constant pursuit of perfection. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Managing Water in Drought Conditions. Water management for golf course turf varies when you consider what soil and turf type is present in each area. At Wakonda Club, my two assistants (Jim and Shawn) and I are constantly monitoring weather patterns, soil types, and turf needs to apply water when needed. Below you will find some interesting facts on how we create a beautiful golf course, even when mother nature is not cooperating. The irrigation s...

Thanks to the group at EC Design we were able to design and install a system that not only met and exceeded our expectations but was also within budget and on schedule. Our system had to have unique qualities considering the terrain, shade issues and how spread out the golf course is. The design had to be special and economically efficient. The team at EC Design made this possible. Thanks again to Erik, Larry and Lisa. Aerial Photography and Topography. Computer Generated Data Base.

WAKONDA GROUNDS: July 2013
http://wakondagrounds.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Constant pursuit of perfection. Friday, July 26, 2013. We recently had a few trees removed for various reasons and I thought I would give a summary of what's happening for those who might be interested. We lost a tree on the left side of #14 in early July. This tree was hollow inside and simply split in half under it's own weight. You can see the hollow cavity extending down to the base of the tree which is facing the camera. A picture of the concrete post at #1. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Assistant Sup...

Constant pursuit of perfection. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. We are very pleased that the 2015 golf season arrived early this year. With temperatures in the upper 70s, we opened the course on March 14- that's the earliest opening date in a very long time. If you've played golf already this year, you may have noticed that the course is a bit littered and the turf isn't green yet. Here are a few pictures from the course:. We have been out putting a fresh cut on all playing surfaces. Welcome to the Wakonda Grou...
