Humidity and Fill

Back Edge (Collar Cut) of 6's Green
Thanks to the recent humidity along with our recovery efforts the voids left behind when the Poa Triv died.  The voids that are slightly larger we are continuing to plug and repair.
Center of 1's Green
Tomorrow, the aerification of the fairways and tees begins again to allow for turf improvement especially in the transitional areas.  At first you will notice the tee markers will not be on the tee but as soon as we finish a tee complex we will be replacing them.  This speeds the process and allows us to get out of the way of the golfers sooner.

Starting on Tuesday we will be spot aerifying the newly sodded areas of 1, 10 and 15; and then later in the week we will be addressing 11, 12 and 13.  Maybe if time allows we may address 12 on Tuesday as well.  Starting the week after we will start the topdressing program again which will aid in smoothing the greens.

The bunkers have been completed both as projects and as normal maintenance.  The maintenance included softening of the bottoms along with the edging and weed eating of the faces.  During next week we will start the shoveling of the bottoms to remove even the slight lips that exists on a few.
