Here is what I saw Saturday 3-18-23 at Bonita Pass.

Hole 1

Tee box in rough shape

This landscape area has not been cleaned out in years.

Grass runners way out from edge of the trap

Dead spot in the green

Old cup plug set too low so it is like a hole in the green

Lots of weeds in the green

Hole 2

Another rough tee box with a bunch of leaves

This landscape area as all of the similar ones are loaded with weeds

The traps were groomed.  Many like this one have areas where grass is not growing.

Weeds in the green as well as foreign grass invasion 

The outside edge is damage caused by golfers sticking their putter into the cup to get their ball out without removing the pin.  Clearly the contractor did not repair the cup correctly.

This cup plug is set too high

Hole 3

Trash along with weeds (see the cup)

Damaged edges to the trap

Damage on the green

Hole 4

Cement cracks need to be treated

Cart path needs edging monthly or when the grass grows over an inch

Weeds below the sign

Lots of weeds everywhere on the golf course

This area needs grass and is located next to the tee box

Lots of weeds

Looks like water run off into the trap.  Must be from the sprinklers

Dead areas on the collar

I was told this is goose grass.  It is going to seed in the green.  So when the contractor does not put down the pre-emergent, those seeds are going to germinate.  A post-emergent should be used to kill this weed before it goes to seed. 

Hole 5

I am just not sure how someone breaks dthe spike off of the tee marker.

This landscape area looks good.  It has been cut back and cleaned up

This landscape area looks good except for the palm tree debris.

More dead areas on the collar

Green damage and an old cup with sedge

I had to putt through this mess.

A weed called lemon leaf

Hole 6

Damaged trap edge

Hole 7

Edging issues

Hole 8

Lots of weeds under the sign

Hole 9

Landscape area is a mess

More mess

I am not sure what this is in the green.

It looks like mold, but I am guessing and probably wrong.
