Tonight is the night of the welcome back party which has always been quite a joyous event. Everyone is happy to be back in the Valley, see old friends and plain just have fun for one night.
This is also the first weekend since opening the golf course. Normally the first weekend is after a Friday opening thus the traffic wear on the tender young seedling hasn't been too bad yet ... well this year we have three days of traffic before the first weekend which means scattering is more important than ever. So please for the short-term protection of the golf course scatter and take the "road" less driven.
I have also been hearing about the roughs and their height of cut. It is true that the recent fertilization of the roughs has exhibited in taller turf, but the good news is that we are aggressively addressing the issue and soon they will be just as you like them.
This also goes for the green speed ... it was slower than our typical opening speed ... but not by much. Currently we are in a weekly light topdressing program along with rolling ... and yes, also lowering the HOC of the mowers. It will not be long before we will hear that the pin positions we have selected are terrible thus the first indication that the greens are fast enough.
