The past weekend was very difficult for the turf especially the Poa with night temperatures close to 80 degrees and the dew point over 75. These conditions do not allow the plant to cool down at night so the stress is constant. We have a break right now and the temperature this morning at the course is 60 degrees which is perfect for the turf to recover.
The greens were topdressed again yesterday to help smooth them out and increase the green speed without lowering our height of cut or rolling excessively damaging the collars. The green speed will pick-up this week with the low humidity unless the thunderstorms at the end of the week hit us. All the playing surfaces were fertilized with liquids and plant protectants were applied.
Another reminder that we will be dry-jecting the greens on Monday August 13th. I am hoping for good weather with no rain as this process can NOT be completed in the rain.
