With the first big event of the year, The Founder's Cup, being complete everyone I talked to that played in the event seemed to enjoy the golf course conditions and the course itself. We kept the greens rolling throughout the event about at 11 on the stimpmeter, but now with the event over we will be going back down to the 9.5 to 10 range ... on purpose.
Higher stimp speeds, although enjoyed by your lower handicappers, are not enjoyed by the majority of members due to the size of our greens and the limited pin placements on them. Additionally, these higher speeds are quite harmful and stress the turf.
Today, besides our weekly foliar application of the greens we will start tilling of the green side bunkers. Due to the type of sand we have here at Avondale this tilling at first will make them too soft thus conducive to foot printing by our team members as they rake them. The issue will settle in a few days after tilling.
