Pro Tip: Course Care 101 – Divots and Ball Marks

Golf is a game of precision and respect—not just for the sport, but for the course itself. One of the easiest ways to keep The Grizzly in top condition is by properly replacing divots and repairing ball marks.

Here’s how you can do your part:

Replace Divots: If your shot takes a chunk out of the fairway, replace the divot whenever possible. Press it back in and step on it to help it re-root. If the divot shatters or is missing, use the sand/seed mix provided on the carts and fill the area evenly.

Repair Ball Marks: Greens are delicate, and an unaddressed ball mark can cause long-term damage. Use a proper ball mark repair tool (or a tee if needed) to gently push the edges of the mark inward—never lift upward, as that can harm the turf. Lightly tap the area with your putter to smooth it out.

A well-maintained course makes for a better playing experience for everyone. Thanks for keeping The Grizzly in great shape!

SPRING AERIFICATION

The Grounds and Maintenance crews are hard at work preparing The Grizzly for the upcoming spring season! In addition to exterior building and patio clean-up efforts, this month’s focus includes deep-tining the greens, spring aeration, and applying essential fertilizers and chemicals to promote healthy turf growth.

As early as possible in March, the team will deep-tine the greens, tees, and driving range. This process helps alleviate compaction and improve root growth, ensuring healthier playing surfaces. Disruption to play should be minimal. Then, approximately 3–4 weeks later, in late March or early April, the crew will conduct a solid-tine aerification, followed by verticutting and a light sand topdressing.

Aerification is a critical practice for maintaining high-quality turf conditions. Over time, foot traffic and routine mowing compact the soil, restricting air, water, and nutrients from reaching the root zone. By aerating the greens, we relieve this compaction, improve drainage, and encourage stronger root development, which ultimately leads to firmer, more consistent playing conditions.

These efforts will ensure the course remains in top shape heading into what looks to be a busy golf season. We appreciate your patience during these maintenance periods and look forward to providing the best possible playing experience!
