Here is what I saw Sunday 3-22-23 at Mira Mesa.

Check out the Pocket Gopher damage on the 5th tee box.

Hole 1

Cart path needs edging

Broken ball washer

Weeds in the collar of the first green

I pulled this out of the first tee box.  They will grow up and spread.  Hill Top has a tee box that looks to be 95% covered in this weed.

Damage on the green

Sedge just off of the edge of the green

The traps are groomed great !!!

Weeds on the walk to the 2nd tee

Weeds on the walk to the 2nd tee

Hole 2

Two weeds in the tee box

Lots of leaves on the walk to the 3rd tee

This weed is over 3 feet tall

Hole 3

Annual crab grass indicates that the contractor is not using the pre-emergent weed control or at least correctly.  Edging issues and crack issues

Fairway weeds

Grass runners in the traps have now shown up.  

Hole 4

Weeds in front of the tee box

Weeds on the collar of the green

To me this is a design error.  You did not consider the walkers.  They have always cut right through this area.  The next picture shows a clearing on the other side of the cart path leading up to the 5th tee box.

Actually you can see where they are walking now.

Hole 5 

Weeds by the 5th tee

Pocket Gopher mounds.  They have been working their way here for a couple of weeks.  Down to Earth has not stopped their approach to the playing area.  Dalton did not know about it this morning which means DTE did not report it.  

Lots of weeds on the edge of the tee box

Needs edging

These weeds as well as many others pictured were here two weeks ago.

Hole 6

Need a path for the walkers going from the 6th green to the 7th tee

Hole 7

In need of grass

Tee box damage probably caused by the sprinkler head in the middle of it.  DTE needs to level and sod it.

Well it is too dark to take pictures now so that is it from Mira Mesa.
