Greens

The greens didn't look good yesterday afternoon. They really took it on the chin after a hot day with a lot of play. I know it wasn't a real popular decision to close a few days this week to limit play but it was most definitely the correct decision. 5 and 7 are now the worst greens - still fine but showing some stress. You have to think, it's a lot for young greens to handle. The traffic, hot temps, humidity, all the rainfall, etc are all things that work against them in their first year of existence.

They do look a little better this morning - even after a 82 deg low. The wind was blowing all night which really helped things out. More air movement = more ET (how the plant breathes).
