We got .3" of rain this morning before mowing. It then got sunny and kind of hot. They were kind of wet, followed by a full day of play really beat them up. I'm glad we just punched some holes in them and sprayed fungicide on Monday. This will help prevent any algae from developing.
If this was in July, a day like this would really have me worried. Thank goodness it's the middle of August and temps are not really that high. Still... the roots are as short as they have been all year, so you still have to do everything you can to help protect them with these type of environmental conditions along with this amount of play.
We really need to aerify greens , remove some of that organic in the top inch and replace it with some fresh sand. This will help develop some new roots and improve overall plant heath.
Greens are still in pretty good shape with ball roll remaining it the 10' area. I've been really happy with the consistency of ball roll throughout the summer.
