Course Update

Once again "Mother Nature" blessed us with some morning showers. We received a little over .5" of rain in a short amount of time. We were unable to mow fairways and greens due to the wet condtions. We will spend the rest of the day pushing, cleaning, and raking bunkers to get them back in to shape. We also are pushing the envelope, but are trying to get the rough mowed down to try and stay ahead of the growth. We also applied a fungicide, fertilizer, and nutrient pack to the greens. We have had a little outbreak of "black algae" on our greens. The damp moist and humid conditions have been perfect for the development of the algae layer. Our greens also still need to recover a bit from the verticutting that was performed on them the week before. These areas are good areas for the algae to move in due to the weakening of the turf. The chemical application this morning should go a long ways in helping us remedy this situation.
