Amazing Weather Continues

Our amazing weather pattern has continued to provide us some awesome weather over the past week or so. High temperatures have been in the low 80's to high 70's and the lows have been all the way down into the 50's like they were this morning. I don't think I have ever worn a jacket in August until I did this morning. I will gladly do that every year if need be!! The golf course has dried out nicely over the last two days after we received another very beneficial 1.75" of rain on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon. That puts our total last week to around 3.5" of rainfall for the week. Over the last two days we have been venting our greens to help dry out the surface and will be applying a thin coat of topdressing sand on Wednesday to help keep them smooth and firm. Hopefully the zoysia sod farm will dry out today so that we can continue to do some patch sodding of some zoysia areas. We are starting to get down to the end of our sodding window as the weather will start to change causing the growth of the zoysia to slow down drastically. However we still have a couple of good weeks of time and we will try to maximize it. Another item this week that we are hopefully going to get marked off our to do list is to repair the rain shelter on #12 green. This shelter has been leaning for a long time and we are going to install some new post and hopefully stabilize the structure and make it's appearance more pleasant. Lastly I wanted to drop a quick reminder that our fall aerification of the greens is coming up quickly and our day for that is Tuesday September 2nd. The golf course will be closed that day as we will try and get all 18 greens completed. Have a great week and get out and enjoy this dynamite weather!!!
