and the cups and flags are being set. A
lot of work occurs between the hours of
5-6 a.m., when nobody is around in
preparation for guests arriving. Every-
thing must be ready to go!
On the Celebrity Course, there are
plenty of new annual flowers in bloom as
well as the wildflowers, dominated by the
African daisies. Everywhere you look, it is
colorful and spectacular, and looming in
the background are amazing mountain
views. Newly added mulch on both
courses enhance the landscape areas,
allowing the trees, bushes and flowers
to stand out and look fantastic.
Meanwhile, March is the time of year
that the Bermuda grass begins to wake up
and start growing.
This is apparent on the Players course
because we do not overseed the rough,
and every day that goes by you will begin
to notice new growth. During this time,
we will be adjusting the mower heights
weekly and spending a lot of time moni-
toring conditions.
We do this in order to have the best pos-
sible transition from winter ryegrass to
our summer Bermuda grass.
Warmer temperatures, longer days, and
busy golf courses will also challenge our
ability to water the courses, but most of
the time it is not a problem.
If you do see a sprinkler running at an
odd time, rest assured we are probably
just trying to catch up on an area that
needs a little bit more H2O.
It is a pleasure to host everyone and we
hope you have a great time playing and
visiting the Indian Wells Golf Resort.

By not overseeding the rough, the Players
Course presents a stunning contrast.
