The week looks hot and dry with temperatures in the 90's and lows in the 70's. This past week we did receive some needed rain, but I would rather control the moisture through the irrigation system while the heat is on.
This week we plan to apply the grub control to the greens, tees and fairways. We will start on Monday and finish on Tuesday. We are also are cleaning along the creek on 15 and 17, detailing the ponds, detailing bunkers and monitoring the course for heat stress.
The course will play a little softer due to the heat and humidity. The seven day forcast is hot and humid, so the plan is to make sure that the turf responds in a positive way. We had a mild winter and a great spring, so the turf is going into the heat of the summer in great shape. I plan to keep green speeds at 10', but this is close to a foot slower than they have been. Please remember that the greens have been rolling quicker than they have for quite a few years, so bear with me and as soon as the weather breaks we will be able to quicken things up again.
