16 PC FEBRUARY/MARCH 2012 Irrigation on the 6th
seven holes, tee improvements, levelling and reshaping of fairways and rough on several holes, drainage on most holes, installation of culverts and covering open ditches, the redesign of the short game practice area and an irrigation system upgrade.
Grass species around the golf course consist of Poa/Agrostis greens, Poa tees and fairways and Poa/Perennial ryegrass roughs. When the front nine was renovated in 2004, these greens were sodded with turf that had been grown from aeration cores that had been taken from the previous greens. This was to ensure continuity between the old surface and the new surface, and this poa had adapted to growing in the climate of North Vancouver. Greens and collars are kept on a fourteen day foliar fertiliser programme, following aeration in spring until the end of October. This programme includes approximately 5kg of nitrogen/Ha, plus various seaweed and biostimulant packages every fortnight. PrimoMaxx is also included at the manufacturer’s recommended rate. Throughout the growing season, fungicides are applied on a preventative basis. All greens and collars receive a monthly application of the wetting agent,
Fabulous location
Revolution, which has substantially reduced our need to hand water greens through hot periods. Because greens were constructed with an 80/20 rootzone mix, and the collars were constructed of pure sand, we do run into issues of hot spots as the collars dry out quicker than the greens. Other inputs on greens include applications of lime, Epsom salts to control moss development, and potassium. Throughout the growing season, verticutting and topdressing is carried out to ensure firm, smooth surfaces for our members. We also utilise the Planet-Air system to introduce air into the rootzone on a bi-weekly basis. Generally, the pests and diseases we see
here are the same that one would see in the UK and Ireland. Microdochium Patch and Anthracnose are the two most common on greens, with red thread and dollar spot common on tees and fairways in midsummer. Greens are maintained at a height of 2.8mm throughout the summer months using a mixture of petrol and electric triplexes. The club is bound by the by-laws of North Vancouver, one of which states we cannot operate machinery close to homes before 7.00am on Monday to Saturday, and 9.00am on Sundays. This is the main
