On The Course May 27th, 2015





We are mowing greens this morning and checking pin locations. We have a crew working on bunkers adding sand where needed and pushing sand up to the edges. The course is pretty wet with over an inch of rain in the past 36 hours. We should see some sun and a little wind today to help dry out the course. We will be cart path only this morning. We have covered the new tee on #17 and with some heat coming today we are hopeful to see some seed germinate in 3-4 more days.

On The Course May 25th, 2015

Nick Walters Topdressing #1 Fairway
The course received 0.43" of rain in the past 24 hours. We are mowing greens and fairways this morning. The sun should peak out later today for a little while before more storms move in tonight. The course is a little wet but we will remain 90 Degree Rule for the day. Please stay on the cart path as much as possible. Sheldon is out mowing some rough trying to keep it under control. With the rain and some warmer forecasted temperatures we should see a pretty good flush of growth over the next couple of days.

Alfredo mowing #7 Green



We are rolling greens this morning and raking greenside bunkers. We are looking at some spotty showers possible later today and into tomorrow. The weather system is losing some power as it gets closer and could dissipate as it reaches the cities. The crew has taken advantage of the great weather this week and cleaned up a few projects. The drainage area on #7 that we had repaired is sodded and looking very good. The tee projects have been sodded and the tee tops have been seeded. There are a few cart path edges that we have fixed and we have a few more we will do next week.
 
We have started topdressing some fairways this week and will hope to finish that by the end of next week. The greens are healing nicely from aerification and we will continue to work on some of the this spots. We will be fertilizing the greens next week to help push them a little the next couple of weeks. There are forecasting some warmer night time temperatures and that should help with the growth of the turf.
