Whistler Golf Club - New Greens for 2012
The Whistler Golf Club is pleased to announce that the club will be replacing its putting surfaces with a new strain of Bent grass for the 2012 season. General Manager Alan Kristmanson on this capital upgrade:
We are thrilled to be making this improvement to our putting surfaces for the 2012 season. 007 Bent grass will be installed to replace the current poa annua grass that has overtaken our greens over the last 28 years. Bent grass has a much stronger resistance to snow and ice damage and should allow us to get into summer condition much quicker in the Spring. We have had some challenges the last three years coming our of winter so we feel this will help dramatically. Bent grass also provides a much smoother putting surface. Mr. Palmer’s green complexes will not be altered at all as our guests love the rolling slope here at the Whistler Golf Club.
The current green surfaces will be stripped in early April weather permitting with new sod being installed immediately. The club hopes to be ready for play by the May 18th long weekend. The club hired Bos Sod from Abbotsford who began growing the grass in April. “We visited the sod farm this week” said golf course superintendent Dave Gottselig. ”The new grass looks great! It is already being cut at a 1/4 inch and should be in great shape for harvesting in April. Three greens a day will be installed in April. The greens will then be covered in tarps to increase growth. Once the sod is rooted in we will begin a process of topdressing and cutting with green heights slowly being lowered as it approaches opening day”
