| Looking Down 17's Fairway |
As with the above normal temperatures continue to occur, the hot spots around the golf course continue grow. Is this because we aren't watering enough? No. Presently we are pumping 1.2 million gallons a night in irrigation which is plenty for the bermudagrass and even the ryegrass, but during the heat of the day when the rye is stressing because it doesn't like these kind of temperatures, the rye starts to die thus forming these hot spots. I should note in some cases extra stress is added due to worn out nozzles and poor irrigation patterns ... both of which we are fixing as we do every year as the irrigation system ages.

Today, we are continuing to repair the greens where we removed the Poa Annua. Most of the work except the grow in itself will be completed today. Tomorrow we will start the aerification of the nurseries and the small putting green next to 3's tee. This process not only test the machines to ensure they are ready but also will give these greens time to heal in case there becomes a next of sod or plugs after the course aerification. Next week we will be doing the chipping greens.
Please remember the date change in the calender for the course aerification -- June 18th to 21st the golf course will be completely closed. Shaun is working on alternative golfing venues for our members to play so check with him when you get a chance.
