Myrtle Beach Golf Courses keeping up with the heat
A very interesting article was published yesterday in the local newspaper, The Myrtle Beach Sun News. It speaks about the length and depth golf courses in the Myrtle Beach area have to go to, in order to keep playing conditions up to par…no pun intended.
The entire country has experienced record heat. For the month of June South Carolina averaged 6 degrees warmer…it was the warmest on record….funny since we had the coldest winter as well….which makes you wonder about the whole global warming thing.
Anyway, the article in the sun news talks about what golf courses are doing with different types of grass to keep optimum conditions. It’s definitely worth the read and may give you a better appreciation for maintenance. Let us know what you think. As always our Golfmasters are always a good local source of information.

Myrtle Beach Golf Course Aerification
Most Avid golfers are always interested in aerification, or the process in which golf courses aerate their greens. Even with a golf course being in the best possible condition, aerification is necessary to preserve the conditions of the greens.
Typically golf courses in Myrtle Beach aerify Spring and fall to ensure healthy turf conditions. By punching holes in the greens, in sizes varying from a dime to a quarter, it enables the overall health of the putting surface. It prevents compaction and enables the greens to be soft and forgiving. It also promotes healthier root growth, which makes it more drought and heat resistant. The 3rd thing aerification does is allow water penetration.
While it’s no fun to play on greens that have been recently aerified, it necessary to keep the golf course up. Your Golfmasters here at Golf Trek are constantly on top of Myrtle Beach golf course conditions so that we can ensure our customers do NOT play courses that have recently been aerated. Fortunately most golf courses in the myrtle beach area schedule their aerification around non peak golf periods. This minimizes the impact on the traveling golfer.
Here is a very interested video put out by the Pearl golf course about how they go about the aerification process. I hope you enjoy. The Pearl definitely is a course you should check out next time you are planning a trip to Myrtle Beach.

The coast of South Carolina is said to have 250,000 native Alligators and they are thriving. While they are mostly harmless….keep your distance and as always better safe than sorry.

a man’s heart beats quicker, his throat gets dry,
he gets weak in the knees, and he begins to think irrationally.
