A few of the greens are coming in much slower than the rest of the greens.  Greens like #5, 7, 8, 12, and 14 are a little behind the rest due to the early shade that is getting on these greens.  Sunlight this time of year on new greens is extremely important to help the greens mature.  

 

We removed t a lot of trees behind 14 and trimed up some other trees, and I have seen a beneficial affect on this green just within the last week or so since the tree work was done.

 

We will continue to do some selective thinning to decrease the amount of shade on these greens.
