Progress Continues At The Amazon Golf Course

Progress Continues At the Amazon Golf Course

ONE MONTH AFTER COMPOST TREATMENT...Green # 7 at the Amazon Golf Course on July 18, 2009.

BEFORE, MOWED CLOSE, DUSTED WITH SIFTED COMPOST...Green # 7 at the Amazon Golf Course on June 19, 2009.

What a difference one month can make in the life of a green, or in the life of a golf course. Remember the article posted June 19th, Progress Report On Our Goal Of Improving The Greens On The Amazon Golf Course. I said, “All of the greens are playable today. I expect immediate incremental daily improvement in the quality of the greens, and a noticeable improvement within one month.” How is this for improvement? Doesn’t it make you want to come out and play? I am putting in my dreams.

Caiman caught sunning in the sand traps.

This photo is to add proof in case you don’t believe we have caiman sunning in the sand traps. We also released another 50 fierce red-bellied piranhas in a water hazzard, found a rainbow boa in the rough, and discovered 3 Amazon Bush Masters near the snake barn. The Amazon Golf Course is the only golf course in the world that issues a machete to carry with your golf clubs. Come to Iquitos Peru at the Amazon Golf Course to play your golf adventure. I am not kidding…

Young hibiscus bush and 3 other blooming bushes around a water hazzard at the Amazon Golf Course.

This young hibiscus bush is another example of the 109 blooming bushes we have planted in the last two months as part of our Landscaping Project to Plant 2,000 Trees and Blooming Bushes on the Amazon Golf Course.

As you can see from the photo above, our 85 new coconut palm seedlings we planted, have a long way to go to catch up with the trees that were planted four years ago, but we have to start some time, and the time is now. Because of our compost formula and fertilization program the growth difference will be less each year, and the results should be very pleasing.

Since my last post we have planted another 50 mixed palm species along the west boundary of the Amazon Golf Course.

What do you think of all of this progress? I want you to come out to the Amazon Golf Course. You can hang out in the hammocks, drink a beer, play a round of golf, and see the progress for yourself.
