The Heat Continues

With all the high temperatures over the last couple of days the golf course has started to dry out a little bit. We have had our hands full hand watering greens and tees over the last couple of days. We however got a .5" of rain on Tuesday night which was a great sight to see after all the heat and high humidity we have had. Although this moisture won't help us much later today or the rest of the week, it gave us a nice refreshing morning this morning. We are also doing some more sod work in our zoysia fairways. We are trying to get everything patched up as well as we can within reason of our budgets. This last bit of sod should go a long way in helping us get some of these areas looking better and make them a better playing surface. I have got a lot of questions lately about why these areas look like they do. These areas are areas where we got hit with winter kill this winter due to excess moisture during times when temperatures where low. In the coming week I hope to start our fairway aerification and spraying the native grass areas for broadleaf weed control.
