Dear Spring Run Members,
As you are playing golf the next few days or so you may see some holes out there that are brown or tan in color. This is due to a fertilizer burn on 15 & 16 fairway. We are currently applying our mole cricket prevention application and incorporating some foliar fertilizers to help with the heal up from the winter damage and struggles we have experienced. The fertilizers can sometimes singe or burn the leaf blades on the grass a little if the air temperatures get to warm before the application can dry.
This is what happened on a few holes. We have made the adjustments to the timing of the application to avoid any future burn issues. This fertilizer burn will not kill the grass or set it back. The burn will disappear in a few days or so and everything will be greened up and growing rapidly. As always thank you for your patience and understanding as we strive to make Spring Run Golf Club the best bundled community in southwest Florida.
Sincerely
Benjamin S. Hanshew
Spring Run Golf Club

If one read the original USGA report the year following the new restoration of our golf course he or she would discover reading in between the lines that we were taken for a ride by the company that did the renovations. This second opinion by U S G A most probably is verification of this under a different guise.
