On The Course June 30th

With temperatures looking to get into the mid to high 90's today we will be out hand watering greens and other areas of the golf course. We hand water in the mornings to add extra moisture to the greens surfaces when it is going to be hot and dry, we do this in the afternoon to cool the surface temperature of the turf so it will not begin to wilt. Today we are rolling greens, mowing fairways and collars and approaches, and reseting the course. We will also be out vertidraining fairways again on the back nine. With the weather outlook to be hot and dry we will be running quite a bit of irrigation, we will be running irrigation throughout the next few days to test heads and water dry areas.

This is a picture of our summer Intern Nick Walters seeding in the new fairway on hole 7 of the E9. The area will be roped off and out of play until the new turf is established.
