Check Plot on #10 Green

On #10 green there is a square that looks a little different than the rest of the green. This is our check plot for our putting greens. The check plot allows us to visually assess what the putting green grass would look like without our weekly spray program. Essentially it is a window into what the grass looks like underneath the protection of our spray program. This helps us make critical decisions on how to manage our putting greens on a daily basis.

The check plot on #10 is an important part of maintaining high quality putting greens.

Jesse Cigary Volunteers for the Wells Fargo

Jesse Cigary spent last week volunteering at the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Golf Club. This was his 2nd year volunteering at this event and he was given more responsibility as he is now considered a veteran volunteer.  

Jesse had many different jobs throughout the tournament including greens rolling, debris clean up, bunker maintenance and rough fluffing. The course work and being part of such a magnificent PGA tournament was enjoyable for him but his favorite part of working the tournament, was the camaraderie and networking with some of the industry's top professionals.

Jesse stated, "I had such a great time and am very thankful to The Peninsula Club for allowing me to take part in The Wells Fargo Championship. It is always a great learning experience to take part in such an elite tournament. Hopefully, I will be able to bring some of the things I learned there and bring them back to The Peninsula Club."

All of the assistants at The Peninsula Club volunteer at one tournament every year. This helps develop our young proffesionals and they learn tips that can be used at our club.
