Winter Annuals

Blooming Muhly Grass

Signs of Season!

The last two weeks of October are always a busy time for the Grounds staff as we make the final preparations for the upcoming Winter Season.  A fresh coat of Pine Straw was installed last week, the winter annuals are being planted this week and the Muhly Grasses throughout the course are in full bloom.  We are looking forward to a great season with a new Clubhouse and a  golf course and grounds to make you proud to be at Stonebridge.  

We have completed a Wall to Wall fertilization that was coated with a pre-emergent herbicide.  This application will prevent the germination of our winter annual weeds.  This program is followed closely by a liquid fertility regimen that will provide superior color and playability.  Our most troublesome areas are enjoying the increased sunlight from the southern sunrise that is prevalent during the Fall and Winter.  We have recognized and began to correct some of our deficiencies.  This is an ongoing program that will lead to consistency throughout the year.   The poor weather in September may have put a damper on our summer progress, but we are not discouraged.  A  fine playing surface will be presented for our deserving members and guests.  Our staff takes a lot of pride in the work that they do and they go above and beyond that of what I ask.  

My entire department values our Tuesdays during the Summer and with only one remaining we plan to use it to its fullest.  This past Tuesday we improved the transition from the 18th green to the clubhouse by replacing the asphalt path with concrete.  In the future we anticipate the new concrete extending to Winding Oaks Way.  

I am excited about the future of Stonebridge.  We have a great Membership, great leadership(Tim Jones) and a dedicated staff.  In short time; YOUR PLACE will be recognized as the BEST PLACE.  That's our goal and that's what drives us.
