Bunkers

To say the bunkers washed yesterday would be a mild understatement.  They are destroyed. It took 7 guys all morning to get through 8 holes. 

We are getting ready to go back out this evening to mow greens and fix bunkers, getting ready for club championship tomorrow. 

We needed the rain badly but not 1.75" in 30 minutes. It was a perfect rain for the greens though. Flushed them with some clean, non-sodium water. At this point we'll take it any way we can get it.

High and dry

Cart path edges

Working on a few improvements out there. These pavers look great in turns in the paths where carts cut the corners. Lot of work but look awesome.

Dry

It's getting really dry out here. The edges are smoked...but at least the fairways are really firm. Plenty of ball roll out there.

That white stuff around greens

I made an application of a herbicide to try and clean up some of the edges of the greens. This time of year the bermuda grass tends to creep into the greens. This herbicide is hreat...smokes the bermuda and doesnt touch the bentgrass. The only bad part is that the white bermuda sticks out like a sore thumb.

Greens

The greens look kind of beat up now that they have grown through the sand. They are also off of growth regulation to try and have some chance of recovery by club championship.  They are starting to grow like crazy. We mowed and rolled yesterday afternoon once I could see that they were getting long on our closed day.
