Nice Weather Continues

Our weather pattern continues to impress here in the KC area. This past week has been no exception with high temperatures in the mid 80s and lows in the 60s. It looks like we are in store for a few warm days this weekend with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s but then according to the long range forecast it looks like things are really going to cool down next week back into the 70s for highs and 50s for lows. Temperatures and the timely rains have been a big help this summer so far. However I know we still have the rest of July to go and the month of August so things could still change in a hurry. We have had another great week here in the turf care department. Sodding of the Zoysia grass has continued as we are getting closer and closer to being done and getting all the winter kill areas repaired. This week we are going to finish sodding #9 fairway area and have done a few spots around some of our practice greens and bunkers. We are still going to work on #10, 8, and maybe a bit more around the practice area. Our big project this week has been starting to apply our grub control for the year. This process takes a long time as we spray the entire golf course. I have had to apply a good amount of water to the holes we spray to help water the product into the soil profile enough to get down where the grubs reside. So this is the reason some of the holes have been a bit damp during the day. Also we applied our summer fertilizer application in our roughs as well. This helps the rough continue to grow and stay in good health all summer. With the cooler weather coming next week we are going to try and do some more cool season (fesuce/bluegrass) sodding on some areas on the short end of #14 and the low area in front of the fairway on #16. Also we are planning to install another senior tee on #16 as well. Have a great weekend!!!
