Rain Yesterday

In the Valley rain is a rare event and yesterday we got plenty.  I can nightly irrigate for days and still never get the same effect as on rain event thanks to Mother Nature.  If you look closely you can almost see the grass growing thanks to this rain ... just kidding.

We finished aerification of the nurseries, small putting green and the chipping greens yesterday.  All went smoothly and will recovery quite quickly.  However, thanks to aerification of the nurseries we will have to suspend minor greens repair for a couple of days but soon the project will continue.

Team Removing the Hump and Softening
Speaking of projects we are going to wrap up the DR tee expansion project this upcoming week.  It is not exactly where we want it since it hasn't been laser leveled but any minor tweaks can be done next year.  For this year we will have to wrap everything up so I have enough time to allow the sprigs to grow before overseed.  Additionally, today we will be addressing a couple of the removed bunkers by softening some of their surrounds.  During this process consider them GUR. 

Curbing After Cuts Along 8
Today we finally got some time to address the curb removal along 8 to conform with ADA upcoming laws.  This is a big and messy project but hopefully we will be completed by next week at the latest.  These areas under work should also be considered GUR.

We were going to topdressing the greens today but with the rain we decided to hold that off until Friday.  Tomorrow we will be verticutting the greens.
