We are mowing greens this morning and the warm weather they are growing very well. With aerification next week we want to make sure our recovery time is enhanced by making sure our growth is sufficient. It was very hot yesterday and the crew was out hand watering areas of the course. We will continue to hand water greens, tees and fairways today with a predicted high temperature reaching 95 degrees. We will try to focus on the fine turf areas as well as run some roller base sprinklers in some rough areas. We have not seen any significant rain in the past week and the non irrigated portions of the golf course are showing the stressful signs.
We have a 40 player event this morning along with the Ladies league at 8:30am. We will be working in behind the golfers spot watering areas of the course today. There was a stuck head on #16 fairway that ran for several hours last night leaving a portion of the fairway with standing water. We will get what we can drained off this morning before play. We should have a great weekend for golf with temperatures in low 80's and clear skies.
