The past two weeks have brought us some of the best conditions of the season so far. Unfortunately, there is significant rainfall in the projected forecast. The greens core aeration is being modified to a solid tine and a verticut because of inclement weather. This shift in agronomic strategies should net a similar plant health response for the upcoming dog days of summer. Working around the heavy rains may delay our completion of these processes, but I am confident that the greens will be rolling true by the weekend.
On the course, the dry weather has allowed us to get caught up on most of our mowing and the rough finally seems under control. With the irrigation pond lowered, we plan on using this week to fix some of the rock walls that have fallen in, specifically 14 and 17. At the clubhouse, improving first impressions for our members and guests will continue with the addition of more perennial flowers, plus some haircuts for the bushes and shrubs before the summer heat sets in.
