This weekend feels like that start of the summer with the temperatures up as well as the humidity. You will notice the fans running on #6 and #8, they are there simply to move air over the greens. These areas on the course tend to be very stagnant which can be detrimental to the turf grass causing the greens profile to heat up. The fans move the air which in turn causes the plant to transpire which then is able to cool it self down. With that being said please do not turn the fans off, just think on a hot day you can stand in front of it to cool your self off and this is the same concept on how the grass would cool it self off by way of the fan.
There have been a number of things going on between the rains that we have been receiving lately. All of our plants around the tee signs have been planted as well as the front entrance. Next week we are installing a new mulch bed with colorful plants for you to enjoy on #5 near the water cooler next week. There will be pictures to follow so stay tuned.
On #7 we have groomed the creek down a little so that you might have a chance of finding your ball and to also improve the look from the fairway. What a difference when you take a step back and see what it was like before. Other areas that are being cleaned up would be between #11 and #18. This area has been a concern for a while and there have been a number of invasive weeds that have called this area home. Currently we have removed all of this and in the process of trimming some low hanging branches and will ultimately round this area up for a cleaner look.
