Greens and heat

The greens are starting to decline with our recent weather. This is a picture of the green just inside the collar on #11.

The greens are a little worse than they were last year at this time even with the crazy summer we had last year. This is probably due to the wet July we have had. July 2010 - 2.1" rain & this July we have had 11". It's better to stay dry through July and August because we can control the amount of water going into the greens at the right times. Excessive rainfall can cause the root system to boil with excessie heat and humidity.

We are still in ok shape for this time of year. It will just take some tender love and care to keep em up to par. BRING ON OCTOBER!!!
