Golf Course
A new month and finally some rain! This past Sunday we received a 1/2” followed on Monday by 1 3/4” more. In those two days we had more rain than in all of March, April and May combined. More good news is the forecast is calling for another 1-2” next week.
The recent rain brought our lakes up 3” which is the highest they have been since the first part of May.
Here are a few pictures from the course. Still looking a little beat up from the work we are doing but much greener since most the hot spots have gone away with the rain.
The maintenance team has been hard at work this second week of the maintenance closure. Tasks have included, but not limited to, topdressing greens (2nd app), tees, approaches, fairways; aerifying tees, approaches, fairways, roughs; a lot more circle cutting; and finishing everything off with a little fertilizer.
Watch this video to see these tasks in action!

I look forward to seeing everyone on the course (next week), and as always, if you have any questions, flag me down or shoot me an email. I always enjoy talking turf!
