Water Update: Lease Status, Pond Master Plan, Ft. Logan
Ditch Upgrades
Master Plan Objectives:
15 Tee Renovation and budget estimate,
In-house winter projects: par 3 tee leveling, Sand trap
renovation on 4, 9, 18
New Business
Poa/bent trials
Rounds 4 Research
3. Currently we have used 60 AF of the 125 AF on
lease.
We are projecting to expire these leases near
September 15th if there is no further rainfall.
Denver Water has offered to extend the lease
with us if needed through October.
Irrigation demand is less in October, but
recovery will be important
4. Two projects to assist with delivery of water to
Pinehurst and other constituents
1st project: During the expansion of Quincy between
Wadsworth and Kipling, a splitter box will be
installed. Allows Harriman Ditch to flow into the
Warrior Ditch and provide versatility.
2nd project: A second splitter box to put Ft. Logan
Ditch into Urban Drainage sooner to avoid ditch
through the neighborhood and costly maintenance.

10. Non-competitive bid was approximately $65,000
Up to $6,200 in design fees. (Approximately 10% of the
scope of work)
Design Fees Include:
Revised Grading Study
Construction Specifications
Bid Forms
Solicit and Collect Competitive Bids
Analyze Bids and Assist with Selecting Contractor
Up to Four Site Visits for Field Adjustments
11. Par 3 tees to be addressed on both Golf
Courses
Total of 30,950 square feet of Par 3 tees
Till, Amend Soil, Compact and Level
Surface:
$3,000 Sand
$7,800 Sod
Contractor: Pinehurst Grounds
12. Sand Traps are recommended to be
renovated every 10-15 years.
According to records the Maxwell
traps are 12 years old.
It is time to determine a replacement
schedule

15. Sand Bunker Goals
Evaluate size and placement of the
bunker
Upgrade or install drainage
Install irrigation around perimeter
Re-grass edges of the bunker
New screened sand into bunkers and
proper depths
16. Goal: Remove Poa Annua from putting
surfaces to increase performance
17. 2012: We are providing a drier surface and we
have seen a major improvement in bentgrass
populations on all putting greens.
Maxwell Greens average 20% bentgrass
Pfluger Greens average 75% bentgrass
Goal: 95-100% bentgrass populations
Better roll and performance
Less water due to deeper roots
Higher tolerance for heat stress
Use Chipping Green for poa annua trials

20. Older varieties of bentgrass is contaminating
tees, fairways and approaches.
Inconsistent turf surfaces.
A new chemical has been developed and
studied for a few years that kills bentgrass in
other turf species.
Goal: To provide consistent turfgrass varieties
in all short grass areas.

23. Suggested trial locations: 5 Maxwell, 3 cone tee
and/or 1 Pfluger Approach.
Three applications are made in the fall and
again in the spring if necessary.
Bentgrass turns white and does not process
photosynthesis and dies.
Re-seeding with blue or ryegrass to fill in any
bare spots.
24. Tenacity herbicide trial
This trial was performed by
Ohio State University in a golf
course setting.
