Greens

Greens still look ok, but we have had to really stay on them with the hoses during this dry spell. 

By Monday it will be 21 straight days of play on the greens. It will be a much needed break for them on Monday without any play. We have had quite a few days with 100+ rounds on them. 

We are going to change cups in the middle of the day today to spread out some of the foot traffic.

Dry

It got dry real quick!  We pumped more well water in the last 2 weeks than we did all of June and July last year.

Tees

Just finished the new tees on 3 and 12. They look pretty good. Should be ready for play in a few weeks. Put Zeon zoysia on the tee tops and Bermuda around the edge.  Other Zeon on the course: range targets, 1 white, 1 red, 13 red, around putting green.

We also installed a drain at the beginning of 6 fairway where water had been sitting resulting in thin Bermuda. That was sodded with the tees.

Mowing

Trying to get caught up on all the mowing after all the rain the last couple of days. The Bermuda is officially out of bed and raging at full speed. Rain and humidity fixed that problem.

Greens

Greens are starting to heal a little after last week's aeration. This hot, humid weather the last few days doesn't make me feel real good with all the sand we have on them.  Hopefully some rain and cooler temps will cure what ails us this week.

Greens

Finished greens aeration yesterday after an outing on Monday followed by a 2" down pour. We got a lot of material out of them...which is good. I am making an aggressive attempt to decrease organic in the top inch of the greens profile.
