Greens speed

The greens were right at 11' yesterday. I had to water them last night and they lost significant speed. I hadn't planned on rolling behind the mowers today, but I had to rearrange guys this morning to get them rolled in order to try and keep the speeds consistent with yesterday.

There are so many variables that affect greens speed. So much of it depends on Mother Nature, humidity, moisture, etc. It's not a science. I do try to keep them within a foot day-to-day but that's not always possible. They might pick up speed by this afternoon but it's hard to tell.

We do aerate and topdress tomorrow. The greens are in desperate need of a verticutting and topdressing.
