This picture says it all... Three inches of rain the first week of July with ten inches in June.  If it gets hot we can expect some turf loss.

 

 

Lots of tree damage from all the storms.  The white oak by the practice green has finally been removed.

 

 

Meet James Earhart, arborist extraordinaire! James won the International Tree Climbing Championship in 2015.  He did much of our recent storm damage repairs that required climbing.

 

 

Stephen figured a swim suit was more appropriate than regular shorts given our weather.

 

 

Solid tine aeration of greens is occurring as often as possible to provide oxygen to the turf.

 

 

Light applications of Pylex herbicide have begun on fairways and tees.  The application rate is .125 ounces per acre!

 

 

Those nasty biting flies are back but applying bug repellents on the turf does this.  Put your repellent on while on the cart path!!!

 

 

Finally some bluebird success to boast about.  These babies will be fledging this week.
