We are mowing and rolling greens this morning. We have had some geese visiting the golf course late in the evenings and they have left their "mark" on #1 green. They are chewing up the bunker bank also and we will try to deal with them over the next couple of days. Bill Ruone is mowing intermediate rough and Sheldon Pigeon is doing our "Friday" mow on rough. The course has come through the heat stress over the last couple of days and we are set up for a great weekend.
Monday we will be venting greens with 8mm solid tines. Venting is becoming a very popular agronomic practice throughout the country. The process involves really small solid tines that are used to "aerify" the putting surfaces. It is minimally invasive and most golfers do not notice the small holes. Venting is very beneficial to the turf by allowing more air to get into the soil profile. After a week like we have the greens are going to really need it.
