I heard on the news that the last 12 months have been the hottest on US history since record keeping has started. Yesterday in Palm Desert was no exception to this trend with the temperature reaching 118 degrees. Today isn't going to be much better when the temps reaching only 113 ... Most likely higher. The only good news is that the bermudagrass loves the heat and humidity so these increases will aid in the transition. Sadly, these temps also will aid in the death of the ryegrass. You will see extra irrigation running during the day to help push the bermudagrass forward.
Recently with my team finishing the bunker project I have heard that we did not do some of the bunkers to the designers design. This is correct. We were tasked to remove five bunkers around the golf course to conform to the design requests ... Which we did. During that process we utilized the soil from the "humps" and "volcanic" lips as backfill. The removal of these lips was part of the request in the repair of the bunkers, but at no time did we try to get the bunkers in the design specs. In order to change the bunkers towards the design the right equipment would be required and of course funds that at the present time we do not have. Thus the only thing we did was remove the bunkers requested and approved, and some of the humps and edges.
