The rough has been really brutal lately. It usually gets like this every August when it starts to get leggy, but it came a little earlier this year due to all the rain.
We are trying something new this year. We scalped all the rough down on 5 today to see if that will help. The grass will grow right back but hopefully not as thick. I think it will work really good but it takes a ton of time. It took all afternoon to do this to 5. You have to mow really slow and then blow and vac up all the clippings. Not sure we have the labor budget to do this to all the holes but might try. I think it will make a really big difference when it comes to the playability. One thing is for sure...it would take a while.
It's ugly for about a week but I suspect will come back better than ever.
