The rough the last few weeks has been extremely thick. This is the perfect summer for Bermuda grass - hot and humid. We are having to mow some spots 2 and 3 times to get a clean cut. It's making a mess with the clippings so we are having to drag and blow behind the mowers. The rough height is at the same height its just been difficult to keep up with. With the amount of rough we have on the golf course we can only mow rough once a week. I've been working the guys longer ot hours this week and will continue for the next few to try and get around a little faster.
Tomorrow we are going to put down a growth regulator in the rough on a few holes to see if it will help. This is the same growth regulator that we use on tees and fairways throughout the growing season. It's expensive and time consuming to put it down in the rough, but we should be able to see if it is worth it in a few weeks. Going to spray 12, 16, 17, 18 - those are usually the worst ones.
