Hermitage CC Golf Course Management

 Monday started with some sod prep and dead tree removal around the Club and on Sabot #9. We still have a few more trees to take care of over the next several weeks, including Sabot #2 and #3 and Manakin #2, just to name a few. The team hammered out quite a bit of work before the noon shotgun, so it was a productive start to the week.

 Monday started off the week with the Lunch Pail Monday outing, and it was great to see a lot of smiling faces really amped up about VT football for the first time in a long while.

There were people walking around here in VT gear looking like Conor McGregor walking into the ring — that kind of swagger walk. It’s refreshing to see a little swagger returning to Blacksburg...

It may sound a little early for this, but this week was all about winter prep.

It was a busy application week for the crew. Monday started with a bulk spread to get all 100 acres fertilized before a Monday outing. We applied a product with some slow-release nitrogen to provide a steady feed through the remainder of the growing season, a healthy load of pot...

Spectacular weather is upon us! For the last six weeks, we have said every week, “Once we get through this week, things will calm down.” And, if history is any indication, we will probably say the same thing for the next eight straight weeks as well.
