Our golf course has had a great year.  The weather has been magnificent and has surely aided the development of our new fairways.  Our greens have recovered amazingly fast from aeration and are back!  It is hard to remember when the greens have bounced back so fast.  We did have a minor set back this week.  One of our sprayers caused some damage to our bent fairways from an application the previous week.  We still are not sure exactly what happened but they are rapidly healing.  We are having to keep them wetter than we would like to enhance recovery.  Hopefully over the course of the next week we can begin laying off the irrigation.  We apologize for the disruption to the golf course but feel confident the fairways will be just fine.  We would appreciate some rain if anyone has a connection!  We are very dry and it is inhibiting seed from germinating in the rough.

Pylex is really doing a number on the bermudagrass.  We will begin seeding some of these areas this week.
