On The Course July 21st

It's amazing its the last week of JR Golf

 The golf course made it through the extreme heat yesterday and I would like to thank Troy, Jason, Justin and Nick for coming back yesterday afternoon to hand water. Sorry that we had to water during the tournament but the ET was just too high to wait until evening. We were able to get through the course pretty quick and ran some irrigation heads late yesterday afternoon. We still have some fairway spots and different areas on the course that we will spot water today.

Today the Dew points are a lot lower and the air temperatures is in the mid 60's. We are rolling and hand watering greens this morning. Fairways and tees are also being mowed. How has the rough been this year? The new rough mowers have been great so far with a good quality of cut and the productivity has been amazing. The Brown Patch on the fairways is in check and should grow through over the weekend. We do have some spots in the low "bird bath" areas that have taken the moisture and heat hard. Most should rebound and we will be addressing most of these areas early next week.

A few low areas throughout the course are looking a little tough after the heavy rain and extreme heat. We should get most of the areas back in shape pretty quick.
