Greens Comittee At Work

The committee has worked diligently the last 4 years improving the soil quality under the green surface by using the Dry Ject aeration process. The soil samples sent to Ohio confirmed that we have “turned around” the health of our sub-surface grass at the root level.

The full day project started with delivery of 220 bags of Silica Sand. Our Greenskeeper started the process of Verti-Cutting the existing Bermuda Turf to open it up prior to spreading and dragging the sand that was brought in to fill in any low spots. This was followed by spreading 15 bags of Profile Greens Grade soil amendment. The South Green will be done next in late May after the North Green Bermuda grass has filled in and been mowed.

See the gallery for more photos.

Lots of Ladies bowling the greens at beautiful Casta del Sol. We're proud to say, 4th place went to Linda Jahraus, Wendy Dilda, and Laura Fremont's team, with 5th place going to Jan Hargraves, Linda Roberts, and Jill Edens' team. Laura and Jill Novices-in-Training with some amazing and special ladies. Way to go girls!
