While the oldies play, club will sort out the racing surface

- December 5, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Dec. 4, 2014, midnight

WODONGA racetrack is set to cash in on a major event and, at the same time, have a major makeover.

The Ulysses Motorcycle Club is expected to attract up to 6000 members at its annual general meeting at the course in March.

The track will be closed to horses for more than a fortnight with trainers having to float gallopers to Albury for work.

The closure will also be a window of opportunity for the club to widen the track, correct the camber near the outside rail and improve the surface.

The Wodonga and District Turf Club general manager, Tom OConnor, said the first stage of the work would start next month.

That will involve widening the home straight, he said.

The track itself is 20 metres wide for most of the course but the home straight narrows to 14metres.

In January, we will start seeding grass up to four metres inside the running rail.

Tiger Woods' First Course in U.S. to Feature Zoysiagrass

- December 5, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Grassing will get underway this month at Bluejack National. The club, located in Montgomery just outside of Houston, will feature the first Tiger Woods-designed golf course scheduled to open in the United States.

All surfaces of the 18-hole layout will be planted with two varieties of zoysiagrass - Zeon Zoysia and L1F Zoysia - developed by Bladerunner Farms of Poteet, Texas. The only exception will be the greens, which will be TifEagle bermudagrass.

Bluejack National's director of agronomy, Eric Bauer, says the fairways are being sodded with Zeon Zoysia. The course will have no rough, Bauer says, because "the designer and the developer want golf to be more enjoyable and to increase the pace of play.

"We're blanketing the entire fairway playing area with Zeon Zoysia. Tee tops and green surrounds are L1F Zoysia, a new variety that can tolerate lower mowing heights. It will allow us to take the height down shorter. This is based on the desires of the Tiger Woods design team to create a lot of different shot options."

Bauer adds, "We are sodding a total of 97 acres," with the intention of having the course grown-in and ready for play by the fall of 2015.

The developer, Beacon Land Development, decided to sod the zoysiagrass, Bauer says, rather than sprig it because "we were tied to a residential component. It was more important to open next year, which sodding allows, rather than sprig and wait another year to open."

Zoysiagrass varieties are known to require less water and fertilizer than bermudagrass, a family of warm-season grasses widely used on golf courses. Along with zoysiagrasses' lower input demands, another deciding factor in the selection of Zeon Zoysia and L1F Zoysia at Bluejack National was, according to Bauer, "shade tolerance. We kept a lot of significant trees. The course is severely wooded."

Medalist Golf is building the golf course. The turf used to grass the golf course was grown by All Seasons Turf Grass in Brookshire, Texas. Scott Sipes, sales manager for All Seasons Turf Grass, says the sodding process will require 520 truckloads of grass equaling 4.2 million square feet of sod in the form of big rolls and slabs.

All Seasons Turf Grass has been in business for more than 35 years. The family-owned sod producer is one of the largest in the state of Texas, producing certified sod on a sand-based profile, the preferred growing medium for the golf industry.

Even though the company has such a long history, Sipes says he recognizes the significance of growing the grass for the first American course designed by Tiger Woods.

Teff seen as potential annual hay option

Teff seen as potential annual hay option

December 3, 2014 - Livestock producers looking for an annual hay crop would do well to consider Teff, a warm season annual thats native to North Africa and often grown as a cereal crop. Michigan State University extension specialist Jerry Lindquist says Teff grass grows in frost-free environments and prefers temperatures from 60 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It is also moisture and drought tolerant. Teff regrows rapidly after harvest and can provide two to three cuttings in a summer even though it is commonly not planted until June, he says. It is being grown by a number of Midwest hay producers because animals, including cattle and horses, really like it, and because it works well in hay crop rotations, he adds. Since alfalfa after alfalfa is not recommended, rotation to another crop is preferred for at least for one year. Teff a grass and not in the alfalfa legume family can fit that bill, Lindquist says. With Teff the same planting equipment as well as the same hay mowing and baling equipment that you use for other hay crops can be used, he says. It also means the farms rotation acres never have to be out of hay production if thats the plan. The feed quality of Teff is moderate, not as high as pure alfalfa hay, but if cut at the pre-boot stage, higher than most cool season grasses, he says. You can attain crude protein levels of 12 to 16 per cent depending on maturity at harvest and if the crop was fertilized with nitrogen. It meets the nutritional needs of the light working horse, the dry cow and, if supplemented with grain, the growing replacement heifer, he says. Horse owners feel their horses stay healthier and maintain the proper stage of body condition when fed Teff grass hay. Research trials at Michigan State and other universities reveal that Teff varieties can yield three to five tons of dry matter hay per acre. Northern zones may only get two cuttings and yields will be closer to three tons per acre, but southern parts of Michigan and beyond can attain three cuttings and over five tons in good years, he says. The seed is small, 1.25 million seeds per pound, so planting into level, firm seed beds is strongly advised. Planting approximately eight to 10 lbs. of seed per acre is the recommended rate and it should not be sown until the risk of spring frost is gone. If wet, cool spring conditions prevail, waiting for soil warm up is advised as planting in mid-June in trials yielded the best at the MSU Campus. Like all new hay seedings, weeds can be a problem in the first cutting, he warns. If a grass herbicide was used to eliminate the previous sod hay crop, the only weed issue that will normally appear in the first cutting will be broadleaves and they can be easily controlled with timely applications of inexpensive broadleaf weed herbicides. Soil testing and fertilizing to meet the nutritional needs of Teff grass is important, especially making sure it has adequate nitrogen. If a previous hay crop had at least 30 per cent legumes, there may be enough residual nitrogen to grow Teff, he says. If not, it is advised to apply 60 to 80 lbs. per acre of actual nitrogen at planting time. Teff has a finer stem than most cool season grasses, even finer than many alfalfa varieties. Because of this it will lay more tightly in a windrow and not dry as rapidly as some other hays, Lindquist says. With good drying conditions it is not a problem, but at the end of the summer season, or in periods without much sunshine or wind, it can be a challenging crop to dry. Laying a wide swath at mowing time, conditioning the stem and even using a tedder may be necessary to get it to dry properly for baling.
