Perennial Prep for Seasonal Show

Jim Hicks, Horticultural Manager, on the bottom of the page and Epitacio Perez his hard working assistant above, have done an outstanding job with perennials on the clubhouse grounds over the course of the last few years. You see Jim dividing one of the perennial grasses near the tennis courts he will use this, and some of his other magic, to create another outstanding bed behind the 10th tee. Epitacio is standing on the far left side of the perennial bed that's on the hill-side between the middle and the lower parking lots, Jim created this bed two years ago from plants he salvaged from beds on the course prior to the course renovation. Outstanding job Jim, Epitacio, what a great photo area when the blooming season starts!




Installation Irrigation Satellite Control


Mark Mejchar, Operations Manager on the left along with Nick Narlock, Irrigation Technician Trainee, remove the old single irrigation control satellite for #9 and #18 and install single control satellites for each of the two fairways. These new control features will allow better distribution of water to these holes. Mark, an exceptionally skilled technician, in many disciplines, has worked at Westmoor for over 20 years and thinks Nick has what it takes to be another solid contributor to our crew.
