It is really wet out there. A lot of the bunkers are washed out and it's too wet to get any machines to the bunkers. Hopefully it starts to dry out soon and we can get to them.

Paint
We finished another application of pigment on the fairways this week. This time I added just a hint of paint to see if it will help hold color a little longer.
I'm not thrilled about the color....looks a little more blue than green, but I think it still works. It looked a lot better the first time because the grass wasn't completely dormant. I still have had a lot of positive feedback. It helps give some definition between fairways and rough.
The pigment runs about $1200 per application. If we were to paint it would be about $20k. The paint would hold up throughout the winter and have a more green color, but I figure we might need about 5 applications of pigment through the winter. $6K is a lot better than $20k.
