Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail courses have faced damage caused by nature before, but human error is being blamed for 'a slow burn of the turf grass' at the Ross Bridge course.
Updated:The Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail course at Ross Bridge will have to close temporarily because a mixture of herbicide and fertilizer was mistakenly applied to 14 of the 18 greens. The Robert Trent Jones golf course at the Ross Bridge resort in Hoover will close temporarily because a mixture of chemicals was mistakenly applied to most of the greens and is expected to kill the grass.
Cannon said the herbicide-fertilizer mixture should have been in a locked building with restricted access. He said it was meant for the bermuda fairways and not for the bentgrass greens. “It could be anytime between next week and next April,” Cannon said. “We don’t know yet until we get through this process of trying to reverse the damage or grow a new temporary surface on top of what we have.”
In the meantime, he said maintenance of the course will continue. Sunbelt is considering a plan to use the four holes that were not affected by the mix-up to provide an opportunity for golfers who live nearby to play for an hour or so. The RTJ has faced damage to its courses caused by nature before, but Cannon said this was the first time from human error.
