Rain

I see it's raining again. Just when the golf course was starting to dry out...I turned the fans back on for greens yesterday to help dry them out. We've never seen rain amounts like this. In the last 30 days we have had right at 30" of rain!!!!!!!!!!! Thats incredible! We really need some dry weather to help the greens and allow us to cut the fairways and rough.

Greens

The extremely wet weather we have had lately has set the greens back a little on the road to recovery. We've aerated all greens with a solid tine to get some air to the roots and aid in drying.

We are spraying a fungicide on the greens today mainly for algae. There's some that's started on some of the interior greens (8, 13, 5 etc). Hopefully we have some dry days without rain in the next week or so.

Pg2

Mowing pg2 for the second time. It's coming in good.

Punching greens

We are aerifing greens with a little larger solid tine. I am trying to get the greens to dry down a little and get some fresh air to the root system. The greens have been very wet for the past few weeks which slows ball roll and prevents new root growth.

Hydroseeding new no mows

Tilled up all the areas on #1 and 11 for the new no mows - started seeding yesterday. Also did the areas along the river on 16, 17, 18 that were thin after we removed all the heavy brush this summer.
