but our event
schedule sometimes
dictates the timing of
maintenance
practices. Due to a
women’s collegiate
event this weekend
we postponed the
application to offer
these elite players
‘typical’ course views.
Timing is always a
factor...high wind or
forecasted rain affect
spraying practices as
well, so we work
around what Mother
Nature brings too!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 11.000000pt; font-weight: 700;">Q: </span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">What is the expense of the spring pre-emergent application for both courses?<br />

playing areas, so it is necessary. Mow heights of playing areas are affected if weeds are left to
propagate as weeds grow at different rates than turf grass. In addition, we want to keep healthy turf
healthy so it doesn’t need the competition for nutrients from invasive weeds!
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 11.000000pt; font-weight: 700;">Q: </span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Why are you only treating the dormant areas?<br />
</span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 11.000000pt; font-weight: 700;">A: </span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri'; font-size: 11.000000pt;">Timing is to allow chemicals to get weeds before they germinate. This application is non selective in
addition to preventative and therefore only used for dormant areas. We only want to prevent weeds
from popping, obviously we need the grass to come back!

To overseed that is…</span></h1><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Each fall we are presented with a 1-2 week optimal window (in October) when we can begin to grow winter rye. The greener look of this cool season grass is aesthetically pleasing for sure, but also allows turf to grow on tee boxes and the range top during the early spring. This allows for more playable conditions and practice areas in March and April. The ‘cost’ is not only in the seed itself, but the process requires prepping the turf for spreading seed. There are two strategies we employ, one is to mow down (scalp) the area to give seed a head start towards soil contact and successful germination, the other is to simply drop the seed and add water! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The seed needs sun (chlorophyll) and water to get going so getting it down before DST is crucial, plus we have been afforded a dry forecast which allows seed to stay where we want it to grow. Untimely rains can cause seed to be washed away, so a dry spell and cooling temps have given us our optimal window. If you are considering cultivating a green lawn this winter, now is the time to overseed!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">At Indian Creek Golf Club, the Creek course tee boxes plus lawn and practice areas will be overseeded, while the Bermuda fairways will not be. This allows for weed prevention practices to take place, as overseeding prevents this ‘clean up’ step in our turfcare plan, so for this off season we will allow fairways to go dormant to focus on weed control. The course will play ‘faster’ due to the lack of growth during the off season, so plan to step back to the next set of tees or simply enjoy shots that roll out farther and a course that plays shorter!</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiglKQJpeyY5qbxaHfDLrGXydtPs2DU0W28iNrCIk3rbxAT-qWuarhZy5SleHRG-cCOQdQKdrPsY3jULgRAnfBN6o2-6cDjsQDqZDRRFZ2gj-p_4GL3eLjntN9nn1oyL68qiUBedMaGqoF3/w150-h200/IMG_9002.jpg" width="150" /><span style="clear: left; font-family: helvetica; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8PCa7bf8rUf6AFQsg6-UesF1yYytgv0WSYKDmY0TcwucxddgFaRCTsGzBYoztUv6h1KDXGSNn4A9iCdQzPJfoAmhhXUm2WiB5tnlMkqxsMebxlo6qI6ZZgWPUcq7n3IbeMohbok5T7vVa/" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="" data-original-height="186" data-original-width="304" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8PCa7bf8rUf6AFQsg6-UesF1yYytgv0WSYKDmY0TcwucxddgFaRCTsGzBYoztUv6h1KDXGSNn4A9iCdQzPJfoAmhhXUm2WiB5tnlMkqxsMebxlo6qI6ZZgWPUcq7n3IbeMohbok5T7vVa/w320-h196/image.png" width="320" /></a></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i>Overseeded fairways don't play as fast and don't allow for weed control practices.

Our crew did a beautiful job, the greens are looking and rolling fantastic! As the latest photos show we are enjoying lush smooth putting surfaces.

After a long 2019 season, we are excited to announce the reopening of the Lakes course this January. All of us have been patiently waiting for Mother Nature and all the elements needed to come together for the course to reopen, now we are finally ready to cross the finish line. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Early next week we will have new GPS installed plus technology updates to help manage traffic for optimal turf care, once this step is complete the course will open for a preview of the NEW cart paths, greens, fairways and tees. Timing is based on the completion of the GPS install so please stay updated by following us on one of our social media channels or DOWNLOAD THE APP to receive an instant notification when the tee sheet opens for tee time booking. Tee times can also be booked online for a special ‘preview’ rate!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Speaking of new cart paths…we will remain Path Only until turf grass is matured and can handle daily traffic. In the meantime, we will happily get some extra steps in to help fulfill those New Year resolutions to get more in shape! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Check out the latest drone flyover footage from December to get the ‘before and after’ feel of the Lakes course renovation. The winter rye overseed project is giving us a beautiful green landscape to inspire more winter golf!</div>

These beauties from Club Car arrived last week and are going to make for a smooth ride.

Course conditions will be protected and this means a better experience for all players! </div>

<b><i>Lakes Course Update:</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
The winter rye overseed project was largely a success. There were a couple seeded areas (mainly hole #16 and #18) affected by the tornadic storms and torrential rain that dumped 3” on the course that night. Because of that event, it will take more time to fully open. We continue to monitor growth and are making decisions about opening for some play in a few weeks (Mid December). </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
The Lakes course will be cart path only during the continued grow-in and we will activate ‘cart path only’ on the new golf cars geofencing feature to ensure the course is healthy and in premium condition for the 2020 season.<br />

But that doesn’t mean the measured air temperature must be 32 or below for frost to form on a surface. Green grass, for example, absorbs sunlight and heat during the day, then loses heat when the sun goes down, so the grass’s temperature may be lower than the surrounding air temperature. This temperature differential causes moisture to condense on the grass during the night. If the temperature of the grass then falls below freezing, the moisture may crystallize into frost. This can occur even when the nearby air temperature is in the upper 30s, particularly when the air is calm.</div>

When and Where Frost Occurs </h4>
<div class="p2">
Frost may occur overnight, but it often forms at sunrise, before the temperature begins to rise. Frost formation on grass is possible in any location in which the blades’ temperature falls to 32 or below, including warm-weather states such as Florida, California and Arizona. For example, overnight frost may form on an Arizona course on days when the high temperature reaches 70.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
</div>
<h4>
Damage to Grass</h4>
<div class="p2">
Frost itself doesn’t damage grass in the way that it may damage other growing things, such as citrus fruit. However, golfers walking on frosty turf may harm the grass quite badly. Because the grass on putting greens is cut so low, around 1/8 inch, it is particularly vulnerable to damage when it’s covered by frost. When a golfer walks on frost-covered grass it is more likely than normal to break and suffer ruptured cell walls.</div>
<div class="p3">
</div>
<h4>
<br /> Delayed Impact</h4>
<div class="p2">
The damage caused by walking on frost-covered grass may take two to three</div>
<div class="p2">
days to appear. By that time the damaged blades may turn purple or black,</div>
<div class="p2">
eventually fading to a very light brown. If the plant’s growing point is</div>
<div class="p2">
undamaged, however, the grass should regenerate. If the growing point is</div>
<div class="p2">
damaged, the plant may die. Additionally, weaker grass, even if it doesn’t die,</div>
<div class="p2">
may be more susceptible to disease and weed formation.</div>

<br />
The Lakes renovation project has been affected by the wet, then dry, hot weather rollercoaster. After 60+ lost workdays the sprigging effort was pushed back to mid August, six weeks behind schedule. When the final sprigs went down conditions were less than ideal with high soil temps and dry layers of clay. Despite these challenges the majority of fairways are growing in nicely as are greens and tee complexes. The final step now is overseeding (winter ryegrass) all fairways on the Lakes course to get it playable and ready for golfer traffic (divots, maintenance and other demands on the turf). Overseeding requires proper (not too hot or cold) temps so we will delay until a cooler forecast becomes reality and allows the winter rye to germinate.<br />
<br />
We are ready and know you are too, but we continue to be patient and wait for the weather to give us a break. While we are disappointed weather issues have hindered progress, there is much to look forward to and we keep saying it…‘good things come to those who wait’! The new cart paths are beautiful and ride like a dream, this along with level tees, smoothed out fairways and smart architectural details all combine to promise a new and improved experience for our players to enjoy.
Stay tuned for reopening updates (fingers crossed for mid-November)…we post the latest on Facebook and via the Indian Creek APP ‘Course News’ section.<br />

Pre hydrate! All of us on the professional staff at Indian Creek ensure we drink at least a gallon of water during the 12 hours prior to going out in the elements for golf lessons, playing or just hanging outside. Then when we’re out there…a minimum 8oz of WATER every 3 holes = 48oz during your round or 12oz/hour. Depends on how much you sweat so consult with your medical team for your optimal hydration goals.</div>

<strong style="line-height: inherit;">Indian Creek Golf Club Anticipates Summer 2019 Completion for Course Renovations</strong></h2>
<em>Carrollton, Texas – </em>Thanks to a May 2018 bond election, the City of Carrollton Parks & Recreation Department was awarded $22 million earmarked for facilities and parks. Of this, Indian Creek Golf Club was approved $4 million to update the 80-acre Lakes Course.<br />
<br />
Golfers can look forward to a grand scale makeover to include new cart paths, a modern irrigation system, leveled and smoothed out tees and fairways plus brand new greens. This renovation will result in a more sustainable maintenance program and will dramatically enhance the recreational experience and enjoyment for all golfers who visit the Lakes Course at Indian Creek Golf Club.<br />
<br />
Work for Phase I began Friday, December 14 and will continue through March 2019, with much of the focus on the deconstruction of tees, greens, cart paths and the existing irrigation system. The second part of Phase I will continue with grading and shaping tees and fairways, installing mainline irrigation, as well as constructing 7’ concrete cart paths. The project also includes greens reconstruction per United States Golf Association (USGA) specifications to uphold healthy sustainable turf conditions; in addition, this will restore the intended design and shape of each green complex as mowing patterns and time lends to deterioration of original features.<br />
<br />
Phase II is scheduled to begin in March 2019 and will primarily involve finish work. A hole-by-hole systems check will prompt the reseeding effort for all renovated turf areas. As a final step, after reseeding is completed, Indian Creek’s maintenance team will manage the grow-in process.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Our Lakes course renovation has begun! The course is now closed for play and will undergo the following major improvements...</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">The Lakes Course is being prepped for Phase 1: starting with tree and cart path removal (back 9 first).</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Stripped down...All course supplies including flags, 150 posts, irrigation boxes are now removed so heavy equipment can move in.</span></div>
<div class="size-12" lang="x-size-12" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-top: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">After 30+ years the Lakes course greens no longer have an identifiable gravel layer; likely due to deterioration then exacerbated by extreme weather, so the benefits of reconstruction will not only make for sustainable conditions but the new TifEagle Bermudagrass putting surface will make a premium surface for golfers to enjoy.</span></div>
<div class="size-12" lang="x-size-12" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;">
<span style="background-color: white;">We know all are looking forward to the vast improvements and we will keep you updated on progress through all social media channels. Stay tuned!</span></div>
