This has been a really weird weather year. March and April were really cold and wet, May was nice, June and July resulted in record rainfall, August was relatively cool and dry and September has been hot and really dry. This bipolar weather pattern makes it difficult to meet golf course expectations and still operate within the financial requirements. I'm not complaining though...it's nice to see the place dry out a little for the first time in a year.
The dryness makes it easier to concentrate on playing conditions - easier to get the course firm and fast. It's not as visually stimulating with the rough browning out, but it's better than having long, thick, green rough that is impossible to get out of this time of year.
