Greens aeration went about as well as could be expected without the help of rain.  Our greens should be back to our standard next week.  We could use a nice soaking rain to get the rough back in shape.  Much of the weak areas around the fairways have been seeded and need some help from Mother Nature to fill in.  We took advantage of the nice weather to sod some weak areas with northern exposures on Wednesday.  Kudos to our staff!

A view of our irrigation lake.

We are transferring water from the lake on fifteen.

 Replacing weak turf on the fourth hole.

Nine thousand square feet of sod installed on Wednesday.  Beautiful!

 Vandalism on the fifth green.  We will repair this area this week.

We have gone back to conventional mowing of our fairways to protect the rough.  We need rain!

Ryegrass failure around the chipping green.  The entire rough surrounds of the chipping green will be sodded this fall and make for a much improved practice area.

 Shade problems on the twelfth fairway.  I believe its time to say goodbye to this tree.

Our winterberry hollies have had a major growth spurt by the fifteenth tee and are loaded with berries.

 Fog rolling in this morning.  Its not rain but its close!
