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, crabgra...

Hello Sunset Country Club!! My name is Joey Davis and I am your new golf course superintendent! My wife, Shannon, and I are currently in Lexington, SC where she is from originally and I'm from Denmark...South Carolina. This Denmark is a small town of about 3,000 people. We are both really looking forward to making Moultrie our home and more importantly joining the Sunset family. I am extremely excited to get started and really hope to hit the ground running. I look forward to meeting everyone and getting to know you better as we take Sunset Country Club to a new level!

However, we do have 3 dogs, a horse, and a cat. Shannon has been an elementary school teacher for 8 years now and also an adjunct professor at the University of South Carolina for the past 2 years. She holds a master'...

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...
