Seymour Golf Course Conditions

Monday, April 19th (5:30 AM Update)

The course opens at 9:00 AM to members and the public.

Greens will be sprayed with a fungicide today.  See posted signs at 1 and 10 tee for details.

Sod/drainage work on #3 Fairway is ground under repair.

Front entrance renovations begin on February 12th. Be aware of traffic cones and tractors/excavator activity in the parking lot. This equipment will be also be transporting material through the golf course at times. Please keep a safe distance from staff and equipment.

What to expect during spring golf:

• Regular greens will not be played until the surface and ground frost have completely thawed.
• Regular greens will not be played while puddled.  And will not be re-opened until surface water has had ample time to percolate through the soil profile.
• Various maintenance programs must be performed in dry weather, for example, fungicide applications with strict re-entry protocols are essential to turf health, this is especially true over the spring months.  Regular greens will not be played while these practices are performed.

Care for the Course:

• Considering the wet spring weather, complying with traffic control measures becomes all the more important.  Cool temperatures, rain, and high volumes of play make growing grass in these areas extremely difficult.
• Repairing ball marks and replacing divots are always important but are now essential with how much play the course is experiencing.

Fertilizer and Fungicide Policy

Pesticides (primarily fungicides) are used on the course and practice areas to maintain the health of the grounds. Staff members comply with legislation and manufacturer’s recommendations concerning the use of these products, and all efforts are made to protect golfers from exposure. Notices are posted prior to each application so golfers may choose to play or not to play that day.

Golfers should always take precautions to reduce any chance of absorbing pesticides:

• Direct and/or indirect contact between your mouth and anything in contact with the playing surface should always be avoided.
• Skin and eye contact can also result in absorption.
