I can't remember the last time we had a slow, all-day rain. We applied a soil conditioner that requires additional water to move down into the soil profile. Yes, we really are sprinkling on a rainy day!!

In this short video, Jesus demonstrates how to turn his greensmower. We use plastic landscape lattice to protect the collars from the mechanic wear of mowing greens.

June 27, 2012

With less than 10% of normal June rainfall, to date. Our efforts to keep the golf course playable, and alive, require more precise measures than machines can provide.

Here our crew applies water to only those small spots that need it. Leaving nearby moist areas untouched.

We opened the new practice putting green this morning. The green continues to mature and will continue to get better and better. But it will be months until it behaves exactly like the mature greens on the golf course.

Happy Memorial Day!

I am evaluating a new product on 14 fairway. Apparently it's not one we want to incorporate into the program.

The fairway should begin to bounce back with cooler temperatures next week.
