Golf course maintenance is our passion; interacting with staff,
the property, and the game of golf.
Philosophically, we believe that focusing on basic fundamentals leads to
success. We emphasize this philosophy in
three key areas of our Turf Care Department; communication, plant health, and
‘the big picture’.
Communication
Engaging all stakeholders of our golfing facility is ongoing
through transparency, involvement, and availability. Without effective communication our direction
becomes misunderstood, and irrelevant.
Plant Health
Simply put; plant health is a pre-requisite to pristine golf
course conditioning, which intern is dependent on a strong, functional root
system. Because of this, rootzone
management (health) is our agronomic priority; focusing on physical properties,
moisture management, and soil chemistry.
“The Big Picture”
“The Big Picture” is our term referencing goals, objectives, potential,
and the vision we have for our property.
All decisions on turf, equipment, personnel, or communication are made
to complement our long-term vision.
Our passion and commitment is to achieve pristine, resilient golf course conditioning through sound fundamentals which
are sustainable.
