Rain

The storm last night dumped an inch of rain on the course. The greens were rolled this morning and I vented the 2nd and 4th collars. These greens stay a much wetter then the rest and last season the collars took a beating with the wet weather. The Bayonett tines that I used will allow oxygen down to the roots and help vent out any gases that build up under saturated conditions. All of the greens will be vented after the two-day member guest to aid in recovery from the additional mowings and rollings that the greens will receive for the tournament. The long range forecast is calling for chances of rain the rest of the week. I hope they are wrong for the sake of the greens. For the sake of our bunker banks that do not have irrigation the rain is a blessing.
