Flush of Growth and Plan to Address It

The temperatures will be in the 90's all week and this means the the Poa Triv and the bermudagrass underlying the Triv will starting growing heavily producing a flush of growth.  As many of you already know this flush of growth will lead at first to slower greens but do not worry ... we have a plan.
Ernie Dragging Green After Topdressing
Our plan is to attack this flush of growth on all fronts ... from using growth regulators (used on Monday), to light topdressings (being done today), light rolling (also being done today), to lower the HOC.  This is a normal condition that we usually see in March but with the changing weather patterns it did not occur until April this year.
Issue With Bunker Face & Ball Roll
Additionally, today Bob Dobek is coming up to look at the fairway bunkers to how we can address the concern shared by couple members about them.  More to come later on this front.
