Course Updates

The heat is taking its toll on the turf in certain areas of the golf course. We have been diligently hand watering areas but certain areas like the new fairway sod are struggling from too much water. We try to keep the rough irrigated but that can lead to over watering fairway areas especially those with high levels of thatch stay excessively wet. The forecast is calling for 4 more days of heat including Fridays member guest. The plan is to continue our defensive measures until Monday when the greens will be vented allowing us to then changed over the aerator to spot aerify fairways allowing them to breath. The signal light is again not working properly so I have contacted electrician to see if we can diagnosis the current issue.
