The weather the last few days could be called "perfect" by most people in northern New Jersey. The issue that most members do not realize is that these warm, breezy, low hummidity days draw alot of water out of the ground. Dry conditions are great firmer greens, great roll in the fairways, and comfortable weather to play in. The maintenance face the challenge of keeping the soil moist enough to support growing turf. The majority of the playing surface have irrigation which limits how much we have to handwater. The large exception to this is the rough and bunker banks. Many of our green-side bunker banks do not have irrigation and some of the secondary rough is not irrigated. Come on out and enjoy the waether but be mindful of the staff out watering.
