This past Monday the Turfcare team assisted Green Bay farms in the removal of geese from the golf course. This program which is supported by the government saw us capture and relocate just over 90 birds. Following the relocation of the geese we installed two goose deterrent floating laser devices in the pond. These units have been used successfully on other courses throughout North America. It is our hope that with the relocation and the deterrent we will be able to minimize the mess on course from geese.
The 5th green continues to establish. We are in the final stages of preparations with this green. We are experiencing some minor mechanical issues as we train the green down which is common. These areas will recover as they get used to their mowing and living environment. We are utilizing caution with this last step to ensure we do not see the turf go backwards. If things continue to progress we are hopeful that this green will return to play later next week around the 24th of July just 79 days after the seed was placed in ground.
