Weather Outlook for the Pot O' Gold: 

FRIDAY: There is a slight chance of rain just before the 1st Round tees off. Otherwise, it'll be a nice 80 degree day with a west wind 5-15 mph. SATURDAY: The 2nd round will be a perfect day for golf. Highs in the mid 70's and a NE wind at 5-10 mph. SUNDAY: Rain is likely on Saturday night and into Sunday. The high will be 64 degrees and rain totals are expected to be just over .5". Lately, the rain has missed the Moultrie area, but this particular system seems like it will stay in tact on Sunday.
Good luck to everyone! See you on the course!

This week at Sunset: 7-17-2017 Sunrise @ Sunset CC This week at Sunset we’ve started off with continuing showers brought on by the heavy damp air. The temperatures have cooled off as a result, but expect it to warm up as we get closer to the weekend. For the month of July we haven’t received nearly the amount of rain we received last month. We’ve received 2.25” so far and last month at this time we were close to 6” of rain. Hopefully, we can finish out July somewhere between 4-5” of rain for the month. This week  we are addressing the over abundance of goosegrass/crowfootgrass and crabgrass around the golf course. These weeds have really blown up in the past few weeks from all the rain and favorable growing conditions. Because we didn’t really have a true winter this year this has equaled to a larger breakout of these summer annual weeds. I will reevaluate with our chemical reps on a suitable/preferred pre-emergent for goosegrass, crabgrass, and a

This Week at Sunset: 6-26-2017 #4 Green at sunset. It looks like we will finish June out with some drier weather this week. However, rain chances return Thursday evening with some scattered thunderstorms through the weekend and early next week. Last week, the golf course received just over 4 inches of rain including the ½ inch we received yesterday. The rain is always welcomed this time of year, but not that much in a short amount of time. Ideally, it’d be nice to have about a ½ inch every Monday and then around a ¼ inch every Friday. As I’ve mentioned in prior posts, the rain has created an abundance of growth throughout the golf course. It is a double-edged sword as it certainly brings more bermuda growth, but it also brings on the onslaught of unwanted grasses and weeds. In particular, the bahia grass has certainly shown its muscles and has really taken off. Also, the goosegrass(crowfoot) has really benefited from all the rain. We will have our deck mower out all

This week at Sunset: 4-24-2017 The work on our new pumphouse continues. We are hoping that the work will be completed this week. The next part of upgrading our irrigation will be to address a number of heads and valves throughout the golf course. Last month, Matt and Josh (ABAC turf students) went throughout the course and did an irrigation audit. Now, we will move forward with replacing and fixing what they discovered and our irrigation should be a lot more efficient. The big project this week will be to address the weak areas on some of our greens. I know in the past blogs I’ve mentioned that we would apply additional fertilizer to these areas. Well, we decided to go ahead and replace the really bad areas and continue to grow in with the additional fertilizer. We have prepped areas on #3, 5, and 9 greens to be replaced with new Tifeagle sod tomorrow.  The rest of the week we will replace areas on the back nine. We will continue to spray all of these areas with ample am
