ThE COurSES BOOK A TEE TIME By Joe Williams, Director of Golf, and Jonas Conlan, Director of Agronomy W hen Indian Wells Golf Resort re- opened for play on April 24 fol- lowing a mandated month-long closure, golfers returned to find both courses in very good shape from tee to green thanks to ongoing maintenance during the hiatus. During the time both the Celebrity and Players courses were closed, our agronomy team continued with daily cutting of the greens, along with mowing the tees, collars, approaches and fairways a few times a week. We also completed a minor spring aerifica- tion of the greens that involved punching, verticutting and lightly top dressing the put- ting surfaces to allow air and nutrients into the soil. Other work included trimming of the trees on both courses, as well as shearing the teco- mas on Players Course and bougainvillea on the Celebrity Course. Bunker work included edging of the traps and pushing sand back up to the perimeters. Speaking of the sand traps, due to safety precautions we have removed the rakes and golfers may encounter foot prints from time to time. Be assured that we will be doing our best to get out there and take care of them. It's a process, but they will be cared for and looked after. Additional work that will be completed soon includes the sprucing up of the wild- flower areas as well as the annual beds. All things considered, it's a great time to play golf at Indian Wells Golf Resort and we look forward to seeing you soon!
