On The Course JULY 1ST!

It is another warm morning with a temperature of 80 degrees and 84% humidity. That is at 6 am this morning and the rest of the day doesn't look any better. We are single cutting greens today. With the predicted heat we do not want to stress the greens very much which is why we are not rolling today. Storms are predicted for later today which should kick some of the hot weather out of here. Fairways, tees and approaches are being mowed today.



Above is a picture of Justin using our TDR-300 soil moisture meter. This tool gives us a volumetric water content number unique to our soil conditions. We are using this number to evaluate the soil moisture profile throughout the entire green. We will take several data points and see what the average of the green is and use this to set our water plan. We are also looking for any visual sign of wilting and can correlate the volumetric water content number close to what our wilt point is and be able to hand water these areas.
