Course Conditions

Sorry for the long delay in updating the blog, but not much has been happening except trying to keep the turf alive through this heat.  Below are a few things I would like to touch on.

Here you can see cart traffic in the fairway during heat stress.  I must remind everyone
that this is done to protect the turf and that bentgrass is a turf that prefers
nights in the 60's and daytime temperatures in the 70's and 80's.  Not all of the areas are
due to heat though, some areas are also from a disease know as Pythium.
 

I have sent soil tests out on the practice green to check the soil mixture.  This green is having
many growing and disease issues.  I will let everyone know the status once the
results are received.
