Flushing

Garrison and I came back out yesterday evening to spread gypsum on the greens. I flushed the greens last night. The gypsum helps to remove the sodium from the soil. We have been running the well a lot to fill the pond on 4.

I wanted to flush before the heat on Tuesday and Wednesday. This will get all the nitrates and sodium out of the soil and bring in some fresh oxygen.

Ideally I would have liked to flush them Saturday night but I didn't want to get the greens real soft then have a full day of play on them on Sunday. The greens took a beating from all the play this weekend, if they would have been soft, they would have got roughed up even more. You can see the pic of 1 green around the pin. The interior greens are even worse.

Knock on wood.....we are still in good shape. Being closed on Monday is a huge help to give them a day to recover. The next 3 weeks are crucial. We're just playing defense and hanging on through July.
