We removed the tarps on Marsh Hawk greens. Watching the extended forecast, the tarps will remain off for the next week.
The Blue Heron irrigation upgrade is moving along. Cold and wet conditions have slowed the progress, but to date 6 holes are complete.
There were two trees removed on the left side of Marsh Hawk's 3rd hole. This was done enabling us to move the red tee from the right side of the hole to the left.

Marsh hawk greens were uncovered today and sprayed with a wetting agent. The wetting agent will help hold water in the soil at the crown on the plants. This aids the plant with winter desiccation.
The greens will be re tarped Friday afternoon and will remain tarped until the weather warms up, which is looking like the end of next week.
