On The Course July 11th


What a hot and sticky day it was yesterday. A pretty severe line of storms rolled in late last night dropping 0.75" of rain in just over one hour. We saw some wind in excess of 32mph on our weather station on holes 3 and 4. We did not lose any trees and only have a few branches scattered throughout the golf course. We do have some puddles in the fairways but overall the course survived the storm.

Today we are venting greens with a 5mm needle tine. We want to get some air back into the soil profile to help the greens through the summer heat. Greens are being double rolled after the needle tine and we should see a little disturbance in the roll today but after a mow and roll tomorrow they should be back in great shape. The range tee is closed today so we are working on getting all of the divots seeded and will be moving back to the front of the tee Tuesday. Overall the tee is recovering a little better and we will continue to work on tweaking our seed program to maximize the regrowth of the tee.
