Today is the last day of the month and the start of the overseeding prep work. Just like yesterday we will be addressing any and all minor imperfections on the greens thanks to sodding and repairs done to get them back to perfect again. When you are mowing at a cutting height of 0.100 or less which is the HOC (height of cut) we do on the greens even the slightest imperfection will exhibit itself. By the way as a side note, green speed has returned to our greens and improves everyday.

Additionally, we will be addressing all tree suckers and low hanging branches today and all of next week. The reason for taking out these branches is two fold ... first it looks good and gives a better presentation; and second it allows the seed to be evenly dispersed under the trees.

The list of items to get the golf course ready just to overseed is quite long, but everyday we will address another hot ticket item. But remember that next week thanks to the holiday we will lose 136 working hours or basically 3.4 team members thus it will not be as productive as other weeks. The good news is that the team, even in this incredible heat and unprecedented humidity has been turning out excellent work and high production.
