• Rates : Mark O ' Brien recommends all rates be kept the same for the 20-21 year and will be
presented to the Selectboard in December. Rates will be discussed at the November meeting .
• Anne O ' Connell asked why the rakes are not back in the bunkers . The state has said it ' s OK to
touch the flag sticks , but has not given a positive directive on bunker rakes . The foam will be
kept in the holes .
• Dave Valcourt asked what the neighboring golf courses are doing as to their rates; Mark O ' Brien
understands they will be keeping their rates the same, Cranberry Valley has special rates for
residents of various towns which will be eliminated over the next three years and will go back to
regular rates . Barnstable has recommended keeping their rates and greens fees the same . Mark
O ' Brien will get rate information from the other courses before the next meeting . He also
suggested that if there are any questions regarding state regulations, they be directed to MA Golf,
the lobbying arm for the golf industry.
Questions and comments from Associations and liaisons :
• Bill Meehan indicated the various associations are very pleased with the way the golf course is
running. Rob Harris is the new president of the CCMGA; they had a very successful year,
Memberships are down slightly to about 100 members, play has been phenomenal with 24 /2
times more players weekly than usual . Sara Robinson welcomed Colin Walsh and will have some
questions in the latter part of the meeting .
Update on Captains Golf Course contribution to reduction of nitrogen in Pleasant Bay watershed :
• Anne O ' Connell reported this matter was discussed at the Selectboard meeting last night noting
Captains was mentioned favorably on multiple occasions . Mark O 'Brien had the opportunity to
listen to the Selectboard meeting last night and has been involved with the Consultant, Horsley
Whitten, represented by Mark Nelson, along with Chris Miller, Director of Natural Resources for
the town and Ryan Bennett, the Town Planner. This has been an ongoing effort that the town has
been dealing with for a long time, and the golf course is an integral part of Brewster' s plan. In its
past practices the golf course has enabled the town to achieve a lot of the nitrogen goals that are
required, and brought in the USGA Consulting Service . Their consultant, Paul Jacobs, did a
virtual review of the situation. Tom Flynn and Dwight Wiggin provided him with information on
past records, pictures, soil samples , etc . enabling him to give some recommendations . On June
30 he came to the golf course and did a site review on order to look at the 'possibility of reducing
the fairway areas that need maintaining, converting to rough the areas between the forward tee
and the beginning of the fairway on certain holes in areas where appropriate . Fertilizing practices
will be changed to more frequent but smaller applications in order to reduce nitrogen, as opposed
to broadly applying fertilizer once or twice a year. This can be done without impacting the
quality of play and will save the taxpayers millions of dollars . Enhanced soil testing to study the
leach rate of the fertilizers on the golf course was also discussed They assume a 20 per cent leach
rate and there ' s a good chance that it ' s less than that giving the town more credit towards
achieving its goals . They are talking about possibly upgrading not replacing the main septic
system by adding another component that would reduce the nitrogen that ' s dispersed. They
assume the size of the septic system is equal to about 10 households which is an advantage in
helping achieve the goals . Any costs associated with these projects will be borne by the town, not
the golf course .
• Colin Walsh reported reducing the nitrogen rate to 2 pounds/thousand square feet is running very
lean but it will work. He reported on the spring schedule using smaller doses without doing a
blanket application . Heavily trafficked areas may require a bigger dose. Mark O 'Brien views
this as good news , promoting the golf course to non-golfers in town and benefitting the golfers .

Mark O ' Brien suggested watching the Selectboard meeting from last night for informational
purposes . Discussion followed .
• Sara Robinson expressed concern from the l &holers regarding the reduced fairway areas .
Discussion followed .
• Revised refund policy :
• There are two refund requests which fall under the category of a 2 -year membership .
• Jeff Odell made a motion, seconded by Carl Blanchard, to approve refunding Brad Bevers his
resident early membership fee of $ 1 ,003 . 00 Motion passed 7 -0 .
• Jeff Odell made a motion, seconded by Carl Blanchard, to approve refunding Frank Bridges his

• Andrea Johnson made a motion, seconded by Jeff Odell, that the revised October 8 credit/refund

• Mark O ' Brien will post this policy on the website.
• Update on consultant report :
• Mark O ' Brien received everyone ' s input and has incorporated it into the information he sent out .
Hopefully this report will be done by the end of January.
Update on irrigation study :
• John Kissida reported on a meeting with Mark O ' Brien, Andrea Johnson, and Colin Walsh , Mark
O ' Brien will incorporate everyone ' s comments , send it out for review, check with Donna Kalnick
regarding the necessary quotes and send it out sometime next week.
Update maintenance building study :
• Carl Blanchard met with Mark O ' Brien, Colin Walsh, Anne O ' Connell and Dave Valcourt to
discuss the RFP ; it was decided to wait until the RFP and the consultant ' s report are finalized and
using any insights to help develop the RFP. Mark O ' Brien indicated the timing for this was
doable and will be sharing the final version with the people in their swim lanes .
Update on solar project:
• Jeff Odell reported the Planning Board reached an impasse; four voting one abstaining, five is
required . The current application was withdrawn without prejudice and refiled so all seven
members can vote . The same plan is to be resubmitted with updates , possibly to be approved in
December. There is an eight to ten-week delay.
• Mark O ' Brien reported the driving range project is moving forward and ready to go . Materials
will be delivered at the end of this month, and the footings for the solar canopies should be
poured by the first week of November. When the canopies are being put up , the driving range
will be shut down for about a month . Discussion followed .

were invaluable in their assistance to the Villandrys .

Executive Summary
It was great to make a half-day Course Consulting Service visit to The Captains Golf Course on June
30 , 2020 . This visit was a follow-up to our conference call that was held earlier this year in May . The
primary purpose of the visit was to evaluate the golf course and determine opportunities to reduce
nitrogen fertility inputs on the golf course while maintaining turf health and ideal playing conditions .
More specifically, we closely examined fairway contours and identified areas where fairway acreage
could be reduced without having a significant impact on playability.
Nitrogen fertilizer Is essential for providing dense and healthy turf and ideal playing conditions .
Therefore , simply eliminating nitrogen fertilizer on the golf course is not ideal because playing
conditions would rapidly decline . In our conference call in May , we discussed opportunities to reduce
nitrogen fertility rates on the golf course . The pre-existing application rates were not exceptionally high ,
but some minor reductions can likely be made with minimal impact on playability and turf health . To that
end , we discussed reducing the total amount of fairway acreage because the primary rough can be
maintained with less nitrogen fertilizer than fine turf areas such as fairways . The primary focus for
reducing fairway acreage was in the beginning portions of the fairways . On many of the holes the
fairway extends close to the forward tee . Most golfers with slow swing speeds that play from the
forward tees can carry the ball approximately 60 — 75 yards , so extending the fairway closer than that is
unnecessary .
The following table outlines topics that were discussed during our visit . These topics are discussed in
greater detail throughout the remainder of this report.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Reduction
General Observations and Recommendations
1 . The report provided in May outlines the importance of nitrogen fertilizer use on the golf
course and recommendations for application rates and timing .
2 . The fairways will likely require more nitrogen fertilizer than the primary rough to maintain
acceptable playing conditions . Therefore , it would be advantageous to reduce the total
fairway acreage on the golf course to help reduce nitrogen fertilizer usage .
Many of the fairways extend close to the front edge of the forward tees . The average female
golfer has a swing speed of approximately 60 — 70 miles per hour which equates to a driving
distance of approximately 140 — 150 yards . The total carry distance for this golfer is
approximately 100 yards . However, we estimated that some golfers likely carry the ball
shorter than 100 yards so we made the assumption that golfers with even slower swing
speeds would be able to carry the ball at least 65 yards . Therefore , any fairway that extends
closer than 65 yards from the forward tee is not necessary and can be converted to primary
rough without having a significant Impact on playability .
Several of the fairways on the golf course already begin farther than 65 yards from the
forward tee . For this reason I would not expect proposed changes to the fairways to impact
playability .
As discussed in the May report , converting the fairways to primary rough will be completed
simply by allowing the grass to grow to a taller height of cut by not mowing it for several
weeks . Converting in this manner will provide the option to mow the area back down to
fairway height of cut if necessary .
The areas of fairway that are converted to primary rough should be converted this fall . In
areas that will be converted to primary rough , stop mowing in late September when the
amount of play on the golf course begins to decline . A gradual change at this time of year
and the following spring will be less noticeable by golfers and less likely to generate negative
feedback .
3 . As discussed in the May report, many of the holes are too long for golfers with slower
swing speeds who are playing from the forward tees . Forward tees that play from a yardage
that is too long means golfers with slower swing speeds cannot reach greens in regulation . This
equates to more challenging golf for players with high handicaps and slower rounds of golf for
everyone one the course .
Constructing new forward tees that are at appropriate yardages closer to the green will
provide additional opportunity to reduce total fairway acreage . On some of the holes , the tees
should be relocated more than 100 yards closer to the green to provide an appropriate
challenge .
Constructing new forward tees is the most positive impactful change that could be made to
the golf course at this time in my opinion .
Constructing forward tees does not need to be expensive or an elaborate process . Several
courses have had good results by constructing a flat and level teeing surface within the
fairway contours with a sand based rootzone mix and maintaining the entire tee top as
3
W
qj
fairway turf. This streamlines maintenance and does not add any additional maintenance
costs .
Forward tees can
be built into the
fairway to
streamline
maintenance '.
However, a flat
area should be
built . Tees that are
placed in unlevel
areas in fairways
are typically not
used .
4. As discussed in the May report, the estimated annual nitrogen fertility requirement for
fairways is approximately 2 pounds of nitrogen per 1 , 000 square feet annually. The
estimated annual nitrogen requirement for primary rough is approximately 1 pound of nitrogen
per 1 , 000 square feet .
The design of the golf course lends itself to provide dense and healthy turf in the fairways
and primary rough directly adjacent to the fairway and letting the rough gradually become
more drought stressed and rugged as it gets closer to the tree lines on the perimeters of the
golf holes .
Starboard Course Hole by Hole Recommendations
The table below outlines the current distance from the forward tee to the beginning of the fairway and
recommended yardage at the beginning of the fairway that can be converted from fairway to primary
rough . In most cases the beginning of the fairway is recommended to begin approximately 65 yards
from the forward tee . This yardage gives golfers with very slow swing speeds ( less than 60 miles per
hour) the opportunity to still reach the beginning of the fairway .
The fairways are approximately 25 yards wide on most holes . This equates to a reduction of
approximately 4 , 000 square feet of fairway for every 20 yards that are converted from fairway to
primary rough .

Number 1 : The fairway begins 40 yards from the forward tee . Convert the first 25 yards of fairway to
primary rough .
Number 2 : The second hole is a downhill par- 3 and the beginning of the fairway starts 10 — 15 yards
from the forward tee . Convert the first 30 yards of fairway to primary rough . Because the hole is a par-
a , all it requires is an approach in front of the green . The approach should extend into the flat area in
front of the green so that balls that may roll off of the green have a chance to remain in the approach
and not come to rest up against the primary rough and fairway interface .
Number 3 : The front edge of the fairway begins 55 yards from the forward tee . However, this tee shot
is downhill so the first 20 yards of the fairway can be converted to primary rough .
Number 4 : The 4th hole is one of the most challenging tee shots on the golf course for golfers with
slower swing speeds . The fairway begins 70 yards from the forward tee and is severely uphill .
Additionally , this hole is more than 100 yards too long for golfers with slower swing speeds to be able
to reach this green in regulation .
Do not change the fairway mowing patterns on less on additional forward tee is constructed .
This hole is a great example of how adding properly located forward tees can improve pace
of play , golfer enjoyment, and create additional opportunity to reduce fairway acreage .
Number 5 : The 5th hole is a paO and the tee shot requires a forced carry for golfers playing from all
sets of tees . No changes should be made to the fairway mowing patterns . However, adding a new
forward tee on the right side of the hole closer to the green should be considered to provide golfers
with slower swing speeds an opportunity to reach the green without having to carry a hazard .
Number 6 : The fairway begins 70 yards from the forward tee . No changes are recommended .
5
Number 7 : The front edge of the fairway begins 70 yards from the forward tee . Additionally , this tee
shot is severely uphill . No changes should be made to the fairway mowing contours at this time .
Hole 7 is another great example where additional forward tees are needed . If a new forward
tee is built the fairway mowing contours could be changed , but the beginning of the fairway
should still begin so that golfers from the White tees can see the beginning edge of the
fairway as it extends over the hill .
Number 8 : The fairway begins 65 yards from the forward tee . Similar to Hole 7 , this is a blind tee shot
that is severely uphill . No changes are recommended to fairway mowing patterns on this hole .
Number 9 : The fairway begins 70 yards from the forward tee . No changes are recommended to
fairway mowing contours on this hole .
Number 10 : The front edge of the fairway begins 45 yards from the forward tee . The first 20 yards of
the fairway can be converted to primary rough .
Number 11 : The front edge of the fairway begins 40 yards from the forward tee . Hole 11 is a par-3 , so
most players are landing the ball close to the green . The first 35 yards of this fairway can be
converted to primary rough . The area where the fairway narrows down currently would be an
appropriate place to connect the new beginning portion of the fairway .
Number 12 : The fairway begins 52 yards from the forward tee . The first 10 yards of this fairway can
be converted to primary rough .
Number 13 : The fairway begins 61 yards from the forward tee . No changes are recommended to
mowing contours on this hole .
Number 14: The fairway begins 45 yards from the forward tee . The first 20 yards of fairway can be
converted to primary rough .
Number 15 : The fairway began 60 yards from the forward tee . The first 10 yards of this fairway can
be converted to primary rough .
Number 16: The fairway begins 55 yards from the forward tee . The first 10 yards of this fairway can
be converted to primary rough .
Number 17 : The fairway begins 35 yards from the forward tee . The first 30 yards of this fairway can
be converted to primary rough . Hole 17 is a par-3 with a large bunker in front of the middle portion of
the green . The fairway should begin a few paces in front of the bunker.
Number 18 : The fairway begins 65 yards form the forward tee . No changes are recommended to
mowing contours on this hole .

Number 1 : The fairway begins 40 yards from the forward tee . The first 30 yards of this fairway can be
converted to primary rough .
Number 2 : The fairway begins 57 yards from the forward tee . The first 10 yards of this fairway can be
converted to primary rough .
Number 3 : The fairway begins 45 yards from the forward tee . The first 30 yards of this fairway can be
converted to primary rough . Hole 3 is a par-3 that plays downhill . Most players will be landing the ball
on the green or just in front of the green . A fairway that extends 50 yards or more from the front edge
of the green is unnecessary .
Number 4: The fairway begins 65 yards from the forward tee . No changes are recommended to
mowing contours on this hole .
Number 5 : The fairway begins 45 yards from the forward tee . The first 20 yards of this fairway can be
converted to primary rough .
Number 6 : The fairway begins 25 yards from the forward tee . The first 40 yards of this fairway can be
converted to primary rough .
Number 7 : The fairway begins 10 yards from the forward tee . The first 50 to 60 yards of this fairway
can be converted to primary rough . However, because the Yellow tees are located on the other side
of the hazard some players playing from this set of tees may not be able to reach the fairway if it
begins 50 yards further from where it is currently . Therefore , start by converting the first 25 yards of
this fairway to rough and see what kind of impact this has on playability from the Yellow tees .
Number 8 : The fairway begins 45 yards from the forward tee . The first 25 yards of this fairway should
be converted from fairway to primary rough .

Number 9: The fairway begins 50 yards from the forward tee . Convert the first 15 yards of this fairway
to primary rough .
Number 10 : The fairway begins 60 yards from the forward tee . The tee shot from the forward tee is
blind and already requires 60 yards of carry . No changes are recommended to mowing contours on
this hole .
Number 11 : The fairway begins 45 yards from the forward tee . Convert the first 20 yards of this
fairway to primary rough .
Number 12 : The fairway begins 80 yards from the forward tee and is uphill . This is a lengthy carry for
players with slower swing speeds . No changes are recommended to mowing contours on this hole .
Number 13 : The fairway begins 65 yards from the forward tee . No changes are recommended .
Number 14: The fairway begins 65 yards from the forward tee . No changes are recommended .
Number 15 : The fairway begins 45 yards from the forward tee . The first 20 yards of this fairway
should be converted to primary rough . Hole 15 is a par-3 with a fairway bunker located in the middle
of the fairway . The fairway should begin a few paces in front of the middle fairway bunker.
Number 16 : The fairway begins 83 yards from the forward tee . No changes are recommended on this
hole .
Number 17 : The fairway begins 83 yards from the forward tee . Hole 17 is a long par-3 . No changes
are recommended to mowing contours on this hole .
Number 18 : The fairway begins 45 yards from the forward tee . Convert the first 20 yards of this
fairway to primary rough . This tee shot also plays downhill , which will make the 65 yard carry to the
beginning of the fairway that much easier.
Fairways
Observations
1 . The fairways were in good condition and contain primarily creeping bentgrass . There are
small amounts ( less than 15 — 20 % ) of Poa annus in some of the fairways , but most of the
fairways are greater than 80% creeping bentgrass .
Creeping bentgrass is the desired species for turf on the fairways because it has greater
drought tolerance and is less susceptible to decline during periods of stressful environmental
conditions .
2 . Plant protectants must be applied to the fairways periodically throughout the season to
maintain turf health . This is another reason why reducing total fairway acreage is a good idea .
With less fairway area , fewer plant protectants will need to be applied . This will save time and
money and reduce the total amount of plant protectants that are applied to the golf course .
8
Recommendations
1 . Include a Class B growth regulator, such as Cutless0 or Trimmit® with the Primo Maxx®
that is already being applied to the fairways .
Class B growth regulators such as Cutless or Trimmit regulate Poa annus more aggressively
than creeping bentgrass . As a result, creeping bentgrass is given the competitive advantage
and will gradually increase in population over time .
Tank- mixing Primo with a Class B growth regulator is a good idea because the Primo will
provide regulation sooner following application and helps improve leaf texture and density .
The addition of the Class B growth regulator is focused primarily on reducing Poa annus
populations gradually over time .
Plant growth regulators should be applied according to growing degree days . This topic was
discussed in great detail in the May report . Note that ideal reapplication intervals are different
for turf mowed at fairway height of cut versus turf mowed at putting green height of cut. The
ideal reapplication intervals are in the table that was provided in the May report. When tank-
mixing Class A and Class B growth regulators , always follow the Class B reapplication
interval .
2 . Preventative fungicide applications should continue to be made on the fairways for dollar
spot control . The following points outline chemical control options for dollar spot disease .
The DMI fungicides , such as Banner, Bayletone, Tourney® and Torquerm are relatively
inexpensive and can provide good dollar spot control . However, If these products have been
used for an extended period of time resistance can develop . If resistance has developed to
older DMI fungicides , such as those listed previously , you may want to try some of the newer
DMI products such as Maxtima® or Navicon®.
The SDHI fungicides provide great control of dollar spot disease . Some older SDHI
fungicides include Emerald° and Xzemplar®. Newer SDHI fungicide options that would be
effective for dollar spot control include Velistal and Posterity®. The SDHI fungicides do not
have any growth regulating effects like the DMI fungicides do . For this reason , many facilities
try to use the SDHI fungicides during the summer months and the DMI fungicides in the
spring and fall seasons when environmental conditions are less stressful .
Summal
The golf course was in great condition considering resources available for daily maintenance . After
touring the golf course I am confident that the total acreage of fairways can be reduced to achieve part
of the total nitrogen reduction goal that has been set by the state . Reducing the total fairway acreage
will not only reduce the total amount of nitrogen that is required to maintain turf health but will also
reduce the total amount of time required to mow the fairways as well as the total amount of plant
protectants that need to be applied to maintain turf health on the fairways . In the long term , I strongly
encourage you to build additional forward tees to provide golfers with slower swing speeds an
opportunity to reach greens in regulation . This will improve golfer satisfaction and pace of play .
Additionally , adding new forward tees will create additional opportunity to reduce total fairway acreage .

Executive Summary
It was great to get together for a conference call and perform a virtual Course Consulting Service visit
on May 5 , 2020 . The purpose of this visit was to evaluate the current use of nitrogen fertilizer on the
golf courses and explore opportunities to reduce nitrogen fertilizer use to reduce the amount of nitrogen
that could potentially leach through the soil and into groundwater.
The Town of Brewster is attempting to reduce the amount of nitrogen that is reaching groundwater and
would like to see if nitrogen fertilizer use on the golf courses can be reduced without negatively
impacting the conditioning of the golf course . There are several factors that influence the likelihood for
nitrogen to leach through the soil , and research may be performed on site in the future to determine the
actual amount of nitrogen that is leaching , instead of applying the state accepted 20% leach rate across
all fertilizer applications . After reviewing fertilizer records , it was apparent that the golf course has been
applying appropriate rates of fertilizers , but several changes are recommended to help reduce the total
amount applied .
The topics discussed during our conversation are outlined in the table below and discussed in greater
detail throughout the remainder of this report.

Nitrogen Fertilizer Use and Opportunitiesfor
Reduction
Observations
f . The use of nitrogen fertilizer is critical on turfgrass to promote growth and recovery from
traffic and to reduce the likelihood of disease development and weed encroachment .
However, there is a concern to limit the use of nitrogen fertilizers to reduce the likelihood for
nitrogen to leach into groundwater.
Applying appropriate rates of nitrogen fertilizer to turfgrass reduces the likelihood for several
different turf diseases (e . g . , dollar spot, rust , anthracnose ) and weed encroachment. Under
low nitrogen fertilizer programs , these pests would require additional herbicides and
fungicides to control .
The USGA article The Driving Forcel explains the importance of nitrogen fertility in greater
detail .
Nitrogen fertility is critical to promote the recovery of turfgrass In high traffic areas . Without
sufficient nitrogen fertility , playing conditions can decline rapidly. The recovery from divots ,
ball marks and general foot and cart traffic are dependent upon nitrogen fertility .
s Each golf course generates over 30 , 000 rounds per year. This would be considered
very high play volume , especially considering that the majority are played in a 6-
month span from May through October. Additionally , most of these rounds are
played with golf carts .
Fertilizer records show that application rates are in an acceptable range . However , most
fertilizer is applied in granular form once or twice per year on large acreage areas , such as
fairways and rough .
BENNEEMMMEMEMMMONEEM
Putting Greens 2 . 75 lbs N/ 1, 000 sq .ft . IS)
Teeing Grounds 2 . 75 2 . 5
Fairways 2 . 25 3 . 00
Rough 2 . 25 2 . 0
This table summarizes the nitrogen use rates that were provided to me prior to our
conversation . All of these rates are common on golf courses throughout the northeast
region .
2 . There are several factors that influence the likelihood for nitrogen to leach through the
soil . These factors are listed below and are well documented in turfgrass research . Simply put,
the amount of nitrogen that reaches ground water depends upon more than the amount applied .
That said , reducing the amount applied will certainly reduce the amount that could potentially
reach the groundwater.

o Making more frequent spray applications at a lower rate will reduce the likelihood for
nitrogen leaching because almost half of the nitrogen applied is absorbed through
the turf leaves, and the remaining nitrogen that reaches the soil is applied at a low
enough rate that the turf should utilize the nitrogen before it has a chance to leach
through the soil .
o This type of fertilization program is often referred to as "spoon feeding " because the
turf receives several small applications of fertilizer, instead of one or two large
granular applications . This type of program is already being utilized on putting greens
and enables the turf managers to have more control over turf growth throughout the
season .
o Nitrogen is the most important element for turf growth . Applying smaller amounts
more frequently allows the turf manager to better control growth rate throughout the
season . The trade off is that it takes a lot more time and is more challenging from a
practical standpoint because spraying before golfers arrive is not always an easy
task .
o Consideration should be given to acquiring a mix tank or an additional spray tank to
expedite the spraying process if this process is implemented .
Transition the beginnings of some of the fairways to primary rough where the fairways are
extended close to the forward tees . This will reduce the total size of the fairways , thus
reducing the amount of nitrogen applied . This will also provide long term savings on other
plant protectant products and reduce mowing time for fairways .
o Through Google Earth , I was able to measure the distance between beginning of
fairway and front of the forward tee on several holes and in many cases the distance
A
s less than 40 yards . Considering the fact that a golfer with a swing speed of 60
miles per hour drives the ball about 140 — 150 yards , that golfer should be able to
carry the ball at least 60 — 70 yards .
o In many cases , new forward tees should be added to provide an appropriate
challenge for golfers with slower swing speeds . More on this in the " Forward Tees"
section of this report . Constructing more forward tees would allow the size of the
fairways to be reduced even more .
o To transition from fairway to primary rough , simply stop mowing the part of the
fairway that is being converted to rough . Converting this way is recommended versus
sodding because it allows you to convert back to fairway if needed . Additionally , if
golfers find that they are playing from this area often , they may not like the bentgrass
at rough height of cut . I doubt that many golfers will play form this area because they
should be driving the ball well past this point, but if there are significant number of
complaints , there are selective herbicides that can control bentgrass .

3 . No major changes are recommended to the putting green or teeing ground nitrogen
fertility program .
The nitrogen fertility rates on the putting greens and tees are in an acceptable range and
attempting to reduce rates slightly on these small areas will not amount to a significant
reduction . At the same time , a slight reduction in nitrogen fertility on putting greens or tees
can result in a significant decline in playing conditions due to the amount of traffic these
areas receive .
4. The following are best management practices that should be followed when making
nitrogen fertilizer applications to reduce the likelihood for leaching .
Only apply fertilizer when the turf is actively growing .
Do not apply when the soil is saturated .
Do not apply prior to a heavy , flushing rain event.
When possible , apply smaller rates more frequently in response to turf growth rate and
recovery . This is the "spoon feeding " program discussed in the fairway program , and what is
already being done on the putting greens .
Forward
Observations
1 . Several holes on the golf course are too long for golfers with slower swing speeds to
reach the green in regulation .
Data collected at the USGA Equipment Test Center and from the PGA of America document
SETTING UP GOLF COURSES FOR SUCCESS shows that the average female golfer has a
swing speed of about 60 MPH and drives the ball approximately 140 — 150 yards . The
average male golfer has a swing speed of about 90 MPH and drives the ball about 210
yards . Because of the slower swing speed of some golfers , they are hitting long irons or
fairway metals into many of the greens . On most holes , these golfers cannot reach the green
in regulation because the hole is too long .
While a male counterpart playing from the middle tees might hit driver, eight iron into a par-4 ,
golfers with slower swing speeds are forced to hit driver and fairway metal into the same hole
because the forward tees are not properly located .
The following table shows a comparison of an average male golfer playing from the white
tees and an average female golfer playing from the red tees on the starboard course and
which greens they can hit in regulation and what clubs they are hitting into each green .

rmd ' " " Indicates that the average male or female golfer cannot
reach the green in regulation . This model does not take distance
variability due to elevation changes into consideration .
Based on the above data , the average female golfer is likely hitting fairway metals or even
drivers into every hole except for the short par- 3 second . This indicates an opportunity to
construct additional forward tees and make the facility more appealing to golfers with slower
swing speeds , Including women , juniors and seniors .
According to the National Golf Foundation 2018 Golf Industry Renort , women compromise
24 % of the total US golfer population and make up over 30 % of all new golfers ) This means
we are seeing more women begin to play the game and presents an opportunity capitalize on
a growing market segment. Additionally , it will improve enjoyment and pace of play for
golfers with slow swing speeds that are already playing the course .
Recommendations
1 . Several tees should be added throughout the golf course . As the table above shows ,
several holes require the addition of a forward tee to give golfers with slower swing speeds the
ability to reach greens in regulation .
Constructing forward tees does not need to be an expensive or elaborate process , but they
should be constructed so that there is a flat and level surface . Some facilities are building
tees into the fairway so that they can be mowed and maintained along with the fairway.
However , simply placing tee markers in the existing fairway is not recommended . Most of the
time tees that are placed in this manner are not used .

Putting Green Management
Observations
1 . Based on the photos that were sent prior to the visit , organic matter content in the upper
portion of the profile appears to be excessive .
Excess organic matter holds water like a sponge and predisposes the turf to soft playing
conditions , disease , mechanical damage , and a host of agronomic concerns .
2 . Black layer seemed to be developing near the surface of the profile based on the photos
that were sent. Black layer develops as a result of anaerobic conditions and when black layer
forms , toxic sulfide gas is produced which can be fatal to turf.
Saturated conditions and subsequent black layer are not surprising considering the wet
spring we have had and the excess organic matter that is present near the surface .
3 . Pythium root rot disease was observed in photos and confirmed by laboratory diagnosis .
This disease is common during prolonged periods of wet conditions and excessive organic
matter increases susceptibility . Pythium control products such as Banole, Segwayo and
Subdue® are effective at controlling the disease , but must be watered into the rootzone to be
effective . 0 . 15 — 0 . 25 inches of water should be sufficient to move the fungicide into the
rootzone .

Left, excessive organic matter and black layer are present near the surface . Right, Pythium
root rot disease is causing the yellowing symptoms . Reducing organic matter in the putting
greens should be a top priority for the next few years .

Recommendations
1 . Perform hollow core aeration in the spring and fall with large diameter hollow tines (e . g . ,
0 . 500 — 0 . 625 inches) . Remove the cores and backfill channels with pure sand topdressing .
2 . Consider using small diameter hollow tines , such as the Ninja® tines monthly throughout
the season . If prolonged periods of saturated conditions are forecast , use these tines before
such conditions develop .
After three to five years of the above programs , it is possible that the spring aeration could be
eliminated as long as monthly aeration with the small diameter hollow tines and regular
topdressing continues .
3 . Topdress the putting greens every 14 days with 100 pounds of pure sand per 1 ,000
square feet . Sand topdressing helps smooth the surface and dilutes new organic matter that is
being produced near the surface .
Consider using a less coarse sand for regular topdressing applications and a coarser sand
that meets USGA guidelines for backfilling aeration cores . The USGA article Benefits Of
Liciht And Frequent Topdressing explains this two sand system in greater detail . Additionally ,
If you would like me to review your sands that you are using feel free to send me a particle
size analysis of the sands you would like reviewed .
4. Plant growth regulators ( PGRs ) were discussed and their use is beneficial for several
reasons . PGRs reduce the top growth of plants and have been shown to improve shade
tolerance , traffic tolerance , reduce mowing requirements as well as water and nutrient
requirements .
Class A regulators , such as trinexapac-ethyl , are safe to use on Poa annua. Class B
regulators will suppress the growth of Poa annua more than the surrounding creeping
bentgrass , thus giving the bentgrass the competitive advantage . If creeping bentgrass
populations are high enough and uniformly distributed , the gradual implementation of a Class
B growth regulator, such as Cutless®, is recommended .
All regulators should be reapplied based on growing degree days . Plants metabolize growth
regulators faster during periods of warm weather. Once the regulator is metabolized , plants
will grow faster than they would if not regulated at all . This is known as the " rebound phase" ,
It is critical to maintain suppression during periods of hot and humid weather. Optimal
application intervals are best measured by tracking growing degree days — i . e . GDD . 0
degrees Celsius is used as the base temperature for this model .
♦ Turf mowed at higher heights of cut remains in regulation longer than lower height
turf. If growth regulators are applied to turf mowed at collar or fairway height of cut on
putting green intervals , overregulation can occur. The ideal reapplication intervals
are outlined in the table below.
♦ The greenkeeper app is a free tool that many superintendents find useful to help
automatically track growing degree days .
Rates impact amount of suppression , not duration .
GDD , HOC and active ingredient impact duration .
Applying too frequently can produce " overregulation " , especially on higher HOC and Poa
annua turf.

UWAc,
Not applying frequently enough results in a flush of growth , known as the " rebound phase" .
This is undesirable , especially during periods of hot and humid weather.

Summary
The nitrogen fertilizer programs in place are consistent with what most other golf courses are applying . I
do not believe that any of the areas were receiving an overabundance of nitrogen fertilizer, but the
recommendations outlined in this report will provide an opportunity to see if turf in the fairways and
rough can be sustained with lower nitrogen rates . Reducing the rate that is applied in granular form and
applying more frequent foliar applications will allow nitrogen to be applied on an "as needed" basis and
reduce the amount that reaches the soil , but it is possible that the turf will require the same amount that
was being applied before . If that is the case , on site research will need to be performed to quantify how
much nitrogen is actually leaching through the soil , not just accepting the State' s assumption that 20%
of the nitrogen applied reaches groundwater.
I enjoyed our conference call and I hope this report proves useful . If you have any questions about
anything in this report , or If I can be of further assistance at any time , please do not hesitate to contact

AFP REFUNDS AND/OR CREDITS :
Below is the Golf Commission policy in regard to Annual Fee Player
refunds and /or credits :
Two -Year Membership .
For purposes of this policy , the total amount paid towards the AFP membership will be
divided in half. One half will be deemed to be the Year 1 Balance and the other half will be
deemed to be the Year 2 Balance . The Adjusted Year 1 or Year 2 balance is the payment
for that year less the value of any rounds played in the relevant membership year prior to
June 30 . A round will be valued at the prevailing greens fee in effect at the time it was
played .
1 . Refund or credit requested prior to 6/30/2020 :
❑ If the AFP has played three times or fewer during the membership period commencing on
4/ 1 /2020 , they may request a refund of the Adjusted Year 1 balance plus the Year 2
balance .
❑ If the AFP has played more than three times during the 2020 membership year they may
request a refund of the Year 2 balance and a credit of the Adjusted Year 1 balance . This
non -transferable credit may be applied only towards the AFP 's membership fee in 2021 and
expires on 6/30/2021 .
2 . Refund requested between 7/1 /2020 and 3/31 /2021 :
❑ An AFP may request a refund of the Year 2 Balance ,
3 . Refund or credit requested after 3/31 /2021 :
❑ Any application for a refund or credit must be received by June 30 , 2021 .
❑ If the AFP has played three times or fewer, then they may request a refund of the Year 2
adjusted balance .
❑ If the AFP has played more than three times during the 2021 membership year they may
request a credit of the adjusted Year 2 balance . This non-transferable credit may be applied
only towards the AFP 's membership fee in 2022 and expires on 6/30/22 .
All such refunds or credits will be issued at the discretion of the Golf Commission .
Credit and/or Refund Rewrite October 8 , 2020
Any application for a refund of a Full Membership must be received by June 301h of the current
membership year or no later than 45 days after a membership fee has been received and
processed by golf operations .
Any rounds that have been played during this current membership period will be valued at the
prevailing green fee in effect at the time it was played and deducted from the membership fee
paid. This amount will be referred to as the remaining balance.
For an AFP to be eligible for a refund of their remaining balance they must make application
during the time limits described above.
If an unexpected life event occurs outside the above time frames the member or family may
request a refund or credit . If approved as a credit, the remaining balance can only be applied
towards the AFP ' s membership the following year . This credit is non-transferable and expires on
June 30'h of the following membership year. The Commission may request documentation
supporting these applications .
All refunds or credits as described above will be issued upon a vote by the Golf Commission.
