On The Course May 11th

8mm needle tine and a light topdress

 We had a rather rushed aerification on Monday with rain in the forecast. The crew was able to get the Championship Greens topdressed, aerified, double rolled and brushed before the rain set in about 1pm. The greens came out great and we have had some rain to help settle the sand. We would expect the greens to roll very well prior to the weekend. We are setting the range tee back on the turf for today and Rubiel is working on spinning bunkers with the Sand Pro. Sheldon and Fernando are working on mowing rough in the areas that are not too wet. We are expecting more rain this afternoon and have a little misty rain this morning. If the greens dry enough this morning we will be rolling early afternoon.

Reynaldo and the rest of the staff are in Monterrey, Mexico today for the Work Visa interviews. They should be on property later this week and we will be up to full staff for the remainder of the season. We will be working hard to get the open projects completed and the bunkers cleaned up. We will start working on a lot of the detail jobs that we have not been able to get done so far this season.
