October is Here

Wow I can't believe it is October already! Man where did the summer go? It has been a very busy, but good week. The greens are looking better and better and most of them are back in shape and are close to being 100%. The five greens I had the aerifier damage on are a still a little behind, but they are healing very nicely. We received about .50" of rain overnight and into this morning. The golf course is going to be wet. As I am writing this I am unsure of the course conditions as we are waiting on the storm to move out so we can get going for the day. We are planning on spiking and mowing greens this morning unless conditions are too wet. With all the rolling and mowing we have done the last couple of weeks trying to get the greens back in shape, we actually have caused the greens to seal off a little bit. We are going to spike them in hopes of opening up the surface a little bit to let them breathe and not hold a bunch of moisture in them after the rain. On Friday we will be doing a light topdressing to try and continue to level out some of the holes that have settled on the greens after aeration due to the settlement of the sand. As soon as conditions allow us too we will continue are normal mowing schedule in the roughs and green banks. We were able to get everything mowed on Monday and Tuesday in front of the KGA Senior Team Championship. If you are going to be playing golf in the early mornings coming up, you better bring your jackets and sweaters. The last two mornings we have had some frost for the first time this year.
