I'm glad we dodged morning showers today they were calling for yesterday. With this heat it's ideal to be able to control moisture. You can put water down...you can't take it away.
Some of the greens have a hint of white in some of the low areas. This is a high rate of fungicide that I put down end of last week. We had some black algae working in low areas (normal for this time of year during wet periods). The white areas are where the fungicide dries out the algae and the white residue remains.
The greens look great for this time of year (knocking hard on wood), they are a little slow, but you have to be careful in this location with the upcoming heat. You have to manage all the greens at a level you would to maintain grass on your 6 worst greens. If all the greens were wide open and on the river, we would be much more aggressive with them. You just can't have the open greens (16, 17, 18, pg, 1 4, 9) rolling faster than the others. Consistent speeds throughout the course is the goal.
