Yesterday, while we were mowing fairways once again a wheel hub starting leaking hydraulic fluid. This leak started at the DR Floor, and continued on 6 & 9's fairways. Due to the dew on the turf and the time of day my operator did not see it until it was too late. The good news is that we are treating it immediately and this time added green dye to the mix.

It appears that that dye helps in the masking of the charcoal when sprayed on the turf, but does add costs and clogs the nozzles quite badly. We will continue to work on this until we find the best way to treat hydraulic leaks.

Now with all of the tools in for my team to set up the pin positions on the greens. Between the book that show them the un-pinable slopes and the slope level we should almost eliminate what is considered "bad" pin positions on fast greens.
