Busy Monday

We finally received some much needed rain over the weekend as we had .75" on Sunday. The rain came at a very good time as things were getting rather dry around here. Due to the dry conditions before the rain carts are off the paths today as the moisture soaked into the soil rather quickly. After a thunderstorm like that things really perk up and look good and makes you realize just how good water from "Mother Nature" is compared to our irrigation water. Today we have had an extremely busy day. We spiked, fertilized, and sprayed our greens with a fungicide and plant nutrient product. The spiking will help work some oxygen down to the roots and help the surface of the greens dry out some so it doesn't sit in wet conditions with temperatures increasing. It looks like for at least the next couple of days we are going to once again get some summer time temperatures with highs in the mid 90s. We are currently mowing rough, tees, greens, green banks, and doing some weed eating around trees today in hopes of getting the course mowed out before the hot temperatures hit this afternoon and tomorrow. Our plan this week is to continue working on some fairway areas and installing some sod, checking sand depths in our bunkers as the sand has moved around a bit and our depths are inconsistent, and finishing up spraying clover/nutsedge in our roughs and fairways. Have a great week and I will update everyone on our progress later in the week.
