Another 1.32” of rain this week. Brings us to 6.24” for the month. So glad that dry spell has ended.
On top of providing hydration for turf, the June rain has brought the lakes up 17 inches.
Lightening that has accompanied the recent rains has been an issue. It blew out a couple of the boards in the Smart Hub. The Smart Hub controls all the irrigation in the field.
Another strike took out decoders on hole 13.
Decoders take the signal from the Smart Hub and decode it to turn on the sprinklers.
Blew the back and wires off the back
Blew the back off this another one
Split the wire connector that is inside a waterproof pack in half
This closure we have concentrated on scalping old turf growth. Roughs started out at 1.5”, we took it down to 1”. Tees, Collars & Approaches were started at 0.700” and were brought down to 0.500”. As you will see in the video all this mowing created A LOT of clippings.
During these closures, we also put out a lot of sand. This closure we put out 275 tons (550,000#) of sand.
See this video below for some of this weeks activities…
I look forward to seeing everyone on the course (once we reopen that is), and as always, if you have any questions, flag me down or shoot me an email. I always enjoy talking turf!
