Welcome to the Reflection Ridge Maintenance blog. I thought this would be a more effective way to communicate what our department does on a daily and weekly basis beyond what we are able to convey in the monthly newsletter.
During my twenty plus years on the maintenance side of golf course management I have not only witnessed the evolution of how we maintain golf courses, but also how the golfing customer views the maintenance of their home course . Our height of cuts are much lower, the equipment has improved dramatically from a technology standpoint, and golfer expectations have become more demanding. Our profession has become dynamic and we feel this media will allow us to enlighten the RRGC member what we are doing to satisfy our customers.
Granted, the basics are still the same. Turf needs water, air, nutrition and sunlight to sustain itself, however, the conditions with regard to height of cut, rounds per year, and desired playing conditions have intensified our management practices beyond the basics. We will update the blog to keep everyone abreast of projects, course conditions, as well as daily operations. Furthermore, we will use the multi-media aspects this blog site provides to illustrate our management practices as well as give additional insight into our profession.
Sincerely,
Stewart E. Hanson (Stew)
Golf Course Superintendent
Reflection Ridge Golf Club
