Greens are in really good shape. They are still pretty wet and soft from all the rain but starting to dry down a little. This high humidity isn't helping but the last two nights have helped being in the 60's. The spike marks get bad by the afternoon when they are this soft.
The greens are rolling just over 10.5'. That's as good as they can get for the middle of July. It's important to note they are smooth...real smooth. That's one of the most important parts. "Good" greens isn't just speed - 2015 US Open for example. They were really fast but awful putting surfaces - really bumpy and not very true.
They could use a small solid tine and a light topdressing to firm them up a little. I might try to get this in once these high temps pass this weekend and Monday.
