The greens are listening

The greens looked pretty wore out this morning after all the rain and the big shotguns this weekend. Now, after looking at them in the evening...they look much better. We just need to get through this week.

It's good to see the greens respond to some defensive actions like raising the height of cut, venting with solid tines, light topdressing, light fertilization, chemical applications, etc. We used to do all of these things with our old greens, working our butts off, only to see little or no response and a continued decline. It's refreshing to see that our hard work is now able to yield results with the new greens. This is with very young greens, I expect that they will get even better with time.
