of proposed activities and events.
* 3/??/12 - Aerification - This year we are attempting to do as much of our            
conventional aerification as early as conditions will allow us. We will try to         
core aerifiy greens and tees, as well as topdress all areas. Whatever we can     
not accomplish in March will be carried over into April.
* Mid March - Poa seedhead control - Depending on our GDD totals and our
phenological indicators seedhead control could begin in March. Through    
chemical treatments we try to suppress the production of seedheads from         
our poa plants. This does not remove the actual plant, but by suppressing its    
production phases we can improve playability and help improve the density      
of our more desirable grasses.
* Late March - Annual Bluegrass Weevil control - Depending on our GDD             
  totals, we may begin treating for ABW's this month. This insect is now a very   
  common problem for our area and something we will have to deal with every   
  year from here on out. We have some very successful treatment methods and
  have been able to keep this pest in check.
