Greens

Greens have healed up good after aeration with this heat. We are 10 days out and they look pretty good. Still need another light topdrrssing next week to smooth out any bumps. We will be making our first growth regulator application this week to be able to keep consistent speeds throughout the day.

Getting it done

Finished aeration today, fixed drains on 14, mowed out...getting a lot done now that the guys are here. Still 2 short but should have those guys soon. It's amazing what you can get accomplished with a little experienced labor. We are still about 2 weeks behind but gaining ground fast.

Rain

The course is trashed again. We just finished fixing bunkers and the are worse now than the were last time. The amigos get here on Sunday so we should be back in ship shape in a week and a half. 

Remember...we punch greens on Monday and Tuesday.
