Member Guest

We've been having some difficulty getting the greens faster for Member Guest. The recent rainfall and overcast conditions is leaving the greens a little on the moist side (dry greens are faster than wet). They also have been growing very fast because of the perfect conditions for bentgrass (cool and wet). Normally I would counter act this with heavier rates of growth regulating chemicals, but I have to be a little on the cautious side because of some of the thin areas.

We have mowed and rolled greens the morning followed with another mowing in the evening the last two days. Tomorrow we are going to lightly verticut, double cut greens, then roll them. We will continue mowing twice a day and rolling throughout the tournament.

The rest of the golf course is in decent condition with the edges a little less maintained then I would normally like for this tournament. This is due to some of the hurricane damage and all the lost time after Irene and Lee.

All things considered I am fairly pleased with the condition of the course for the Member Guest.
