Yesterday was the Superintendent's Revenge Day and from all those I spoke to ... really those still speaking to me ... everyone seemed to have a great time. The pin positions were as tough as I could get them and still Mr. Bentzen shot a 36 on the front nine ... WOW. The maintenance team also enjoyed the fact that they could be noisy without getting into trouble which led to one of the most productive days ever.
As part of the prep for the event we dried the entire golf course for three days. This not only increased ball roll and green speed but had other added benefits. This drying of the golf course aids in the transition; helps stress the turf to exhibit localized dry spots and areas of grub activity; and also saves the Club monies in pumping and water costs. We test (or scout) these dry area to determine their cause and then deal with them as needed.
I am tickled pink that everyone seemed to enjoy the the event (even the horse race). The best scores (gross) yesterday were for the men Mr. Bentzen who killed it with a 81, Mrs. Woodson from the ladies who shot a 93. Great job by both.
