On The Course July 28th

The course is drying out enough to let carts off the path today but we will still have some areas roped off throughout  the golf course. We recieved some turf damage in some fairways from disease and heat stress last week. We are seeing areas that were sitting in water when it was really hot that show signs of scalding. Most of the areas will rebound and we will be working to fix these areas over the next couple of weeks.

Today we are mowing and rolling greens. They are also being sprayed with some fertilizer and fungicide. We have had a solid preventative fungicide program in place for greens this year and it is paying off for us right now. Talking with other Superintendents this season has had the most disease pressure they have seen in a long time.

Fairways, collars and approaches are also being mowed today. We have been working on pruning some sucker growth on some trees the past couple of days and should have that rapped up by the end of the week.
