Continued Cool and Damp Conditions

Cool and damp seems to be the weather of choice for good "Ol' Mother Nature"! Temperatures have stayed below normal over the weekend and it doesn't look like they are going to come back up until the end of the week. The golf course is trying to dry out, but with the slow mist all day today and the little shower we got overnight it has not allowed it to do it very good. Course conditions continue to be very damp. Most of the major weather services are calling for a 40-70% chance of rain Tuesday and Tuesday night, so the drying out process is probably going to take a little bit longer. Today we were able to get most of the rough and green banks mowed. The turf has really started to slow down its growing pattern. However if the temperatures rebound again soon it will start to grow again as long as the soil temperatures stay above the 50-60 degree mark on a consistent basis. As soon as dryer weather moves in we are going to be starting on spraying some broad leaf weeds (mainly clover) in the dormant zoysia along with some of the cool season grasses that have germinated this fall while the temperatures are still somewhat on the warmer side. I hope you all had a great weekend. I hope to see you all or talk with you soon.
