So far, this week has been very eventful and also a sign that the season is slowly coming to an end. As I say that it does finally feel like summer has arrived, but I am okay with that because the days are getting shorter and shorter. This weeks high temperatures has dealt us some severe pop up storms in the afternoons. When I say we are wet, we are really wet out there.
We are gearing up our aerifiers for the greens and will be poking a small hole to help them dry out during this stretch of high temperatures. When ever you have high temperatures and wet conditions this poses a problem to the greens health. Our goal is to have them completed by tomorrow afternoon and to disappear by the weekend.
Some notable projects taking place is the transplanting of the bur-ford hollies to other various locations around the club house. These plants are getting smothered by the zelkova's shade and are not thriving like they should, they also receive damage every year from the snow plows. We will seed tall fescue into the existing mulch bed and this will give us a much cleaner and presentable look as you drive into the club. The rough is getting some much need food to help fill in from the traffic, we also spot sprayed bermuda patches in anticipation of seeding these areas this week.
