It sometimes seems as fast as we are mowing the roughs they are growing right back up behind the mowers ... and thanks to the temperatures averaging 10 degrees greater than normal that isn't a understatement. During normal weeks we are averaging seven to nine holes per day, and when we send out three or four rough units that average can be increased to 11 - 12 holes per day.
There are a lot of factors that can easily slow this process down from having to move the stakes and ropes before and after mowing, equipment breakage and down time, amount of play on a given day, to even such as this week where the staffing levels are reduced to make budget. With increased temperatures such as what we are experiencing this daunting task becomes even more so daunting ... but rest assure we are addressing it quickly.
Today again we have full staffing levels and have all four rough units fully operational. Additionally, both bank mowers (the units the address the roughs around tees & greens) will also be in the field today after first assignment has been completed. The further speed the process we will have team members solely address moving and setting back the ropes. These efforts should get us ready for the weekend, where all of the grass we have cut will grow back up again for Monday.
