Change of Plans

I was informed late Saturday that our aeration contractor was not going to be able to deliver on our contract for fairway aeration due to staffing issues with their company. I was able to contact another aeration company Monday morning and as luck would have it Forsgate Country Club had just canceled their fairway aeration for Monday September 29 so we took that date. Securing the date is only half the battle as weather plays a huge factor in our ability to aerate, basically it can't rain. Lets all hope the weather next Monday is the same as this Monday.

Greens are being mowed this morning at a higher height of cut along with the approaches and the tees later this morning. All playing areas were treated with fertilizer yesterday to aid in the healing process. We should be back to our normal cutting heights by the weekend and half way to complete recovery.

The following diagram is of interest in explain why leaves turn the colors they turn in the fall:
