We have experienced about every season in the last ten days.  Thankfully we received some beneficial rain last week and last night.   We have already recorded more rainfall in June than the entire month of May!  My how quickly course conditions can change.

 

Unfortunately this large white oak took a direct lightening strike last night.  It is hard to imagine it will survive.

 

 

From very dry to much too wet in a few short days.  This is black algae on the chipping green.  A fungicide was applied to all the greens on Friday once the rain ended.

 

 

A poorly repaired ball mark and another negative to all the rain.  Please don't fix ball marks in this manner.

 

 

Getting the driving range open in fifteen days was a relief.  We will continue to reduce the height of cut and it should be at fairway height by next week. 

 

 

Common bermudagrass growing through aeration plugs behind the fifteenth green.  I believe common bermudagrass, Poa annua, and cockroaches will all be here long after we are gone!

 

 

The new sod around the greens has blended in nicely.  Before and...

 

 

After!!

 

 

We have some new labor with difficulty in tee marker alignment so back to the basics.  Here Amy uses a T square to align the markers.

 

 

Some of our new equipment has arrived!  Here Jose proudly displays our new slope mower.

 

 

We also purchased another greens roller to make our greens smooth as silk.
