A great start to 2019
There have been several rain storms around the last few weeks, but Waverly has dodged most of them. The course has been playing firm and tee sheets have been packed. The greens were deep tine...
2019 Preparation
Many times superintendents are asked what we do during the winter. There is always a normal set of tasks, but each season presents new challenges and opportunities to explore during the off-sea...
Fall has finally arrived
Yesterday morning the maintenance team was greeted to a brisk morning. The turf was standing at attention and you could tell instantly that is was relaxed. It sounds crazy, but when you are on a ...
First day of fall
We should be well into recovery mode from the summer at this point in the calendar, but mother nature is just not cooperating. The pattern of getting excessively wet, then trying to dry out for 3...
Late summer update
The excessive rain we experienced in July set records for the state of Maryland. The hot and humid days and warm evening temperatures made it all but impossible to avoid turf loss. The plants wer...
Summer update
A few of our greens in the shaded environments did not enjoy all of the rain May and early June brought to the area. Luckily we had good weather in June and a lot turf recovered. Problem is som...
Been a while....
It has been almost a year since the last update. To me it seemed I was always sharing the same news. So this year I will try to keep the content more concise and picture friendly. Range Tee...
Dialing in playing surfaces
A lot of work has been done over the last few weeks on the primary playing surfaces at Waverly Woods. The greens have been verti-cut twice and topdressed. We have also ramped up rolling green...
Primed and ready for the summer
In the next 3 months we will find out how successful the changes we have made to our maintenance practices and procedures and how they will improve the health of the golf course. It is pretty c...

Last week we were able to sneak in a verti-cut and topdress on the greens just before a heavy storm came in. The greens were mowed the next day and the immediate improvement was noticed by our ...
Turf is on the move now
We have had some excellent conditions for golf recently, but the turf growth on the course never seems to hit its stride until late April. Within the next 10 days we will see most all of the tu...
Spring update
I will add more to this post soon, but with Spring officially arriving this week I wanted to update our customers on the #1 area of concern for spring golf - Aeration! Waverly Woods will not be...
Interesting winter weather....
The last 3 weeks of February were abnormally warm. There is a lot of debate on what this will really mean when all is said and done. The pictures and link below showing magnolia blooms from t...
Gladly welcoming 2017
It has been a long while since I have written a post and I figured I’d start the new year off with a quick update about the course and a little recap of the last few months. 2016 was a long a...
Time to switch gears
The past week we have spent a lot of time working on the greens at Waverly Woods. Last week we verticut in 2 directions and applied some sand topdressing to encourage new plant growth and uprig...
Golf days are disappearing fast....
There is still going to be plenty of great weather for the next 2 months for golf, but it is hard to believe as I type this that the lows for the next several nights will be in the low 40′s. ...
A well deserved change in the weather....
The temperatures around the region have finally calmed down and now we are officially into the fall golf season. Last week we verti-cut the greens to ensure a smooth ball roll. They have full...
Enough already....you win
This summer is definitely one to remember for turf managers in the mid atlantic region. Looks like we have 48 hours left then we can really begin the recovery process. Keep in mind that bette...
Greens Update
We are welcoming this cool weather, but it will be short lived as it heats back up later this week. Visually you can still see the aeration on the greens. Putts are rolling pretty true today....
