The summer heat has kicked in with highs expected to reach the mid 90's over the next two days. The next chance, which is only a slim chance, is on Wednesday evening. Otherwise, the rest of the week looks like above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall. The course is holding its own as we run through this dry period. We are entering the time of year where we are constantly checking the greens, tees and fairways for heat and drought stress. It is not uncommon to check the turf, especially the greens, four to five times per day.
This week we plan to finish edging cart paths, start cleaning out along the creek by 15 pro tee and continue with general maintenance. On Monday, June 25th, we will be venting the greens with 1/4" solid tines. This process allows water and oxygen to move through the soil profile and help release any toxic gas build up. The venting causes minimal disruption to the putting surface.
Please continue to repair your ball marks and replace your divots.
