He suspects the reason for the dying trees <br />is from girdling root. Chris will oversee the planting of the replacement <br />trees and hopes to have all trees replaced by the end of August. <br />c) What is the strategy and plans for large trees (roots) <br />encroaching/damaging the greens on 5, 18 and club house practice <br />green- Chris stated he is hesitant to root prune green #5 cottonwood due <br />to concerns with the stability of the tree. Typically when you root prune <br />you dig a trench 2’ deep and install a barrier, such as an herbicide <br />impregnated barrier. Chris is still researching the different types of <br />barriers. Discussion on #5 – do we replace the green or remove the tree? <br />The board asked if we could determine what is really going on with #5 <br />green. Chris agreed to work with WGP to collect data, take course <br />samples and come up with a schematic of the green to determine the <br />possible cause for #5 green issues. Chris will report back to the board at <br />the August meeting with the results. We then discussed “root crown <br />decay” regarding hole #9 cottonwood tree. Chris recommended the <br />removal of these trees and stated that the winter months are the best time <br />to do this. <br />d) Update with WGP of the on-going recovery actions – Joe deferred to <br />Eric on this item. <br /> Eric stated that the reclaimed water was turned on July 3rd. <br /> Coal Creek had a gate valve fail which caused the 8” main line <br />between 9 and 13 to break along with a breakage of a main line T. <br />The water line breakage is the cause for the dry spots on holes 1, 9 <br />and 13. <br /> Verticut and topdress is scheduled this week due to cooler temps. <br />The entire fairway on hole #15 will be topdressed. <br /> Greenside bunkers will be refilled with sand returning them to a 4” <br />base. WGP does plan on addressing the fairway bunkers as well. <br /> GPS has been installed in the new carts. <br /> <br /> <br />Item V- GCAB discussion- <br />a. Golf course conditions/operational overview at Heritage <br />Westmoor and Flatirons - The board briefly reviewed and <br />continues to use the information from the course visits as a <br />benchmark. <br />b.
