Finally some decent weather.  We are trying to get caught up on just about everything as the rain has put been our foe the last three weeks.  In some respects we feel fortunate to have accomplished as much as we have.


Warm temps and sunshine have allowed us to finally open the grass tee.  The bermudagrass tee is open Wednesday through Sunday weather permitting.


All the rain has been hard on many of our sycamore trees.  Here a diseased sycamore by the third tee is almost defoliated. 


The disease is called anthracnose and leaves a mess.


Fortunately sycamores have the ability to produce new leaves and can recover.  This is called adventitious growth.


Just a reminder that when we restrict carts to the paths there is a reason.  This is damage behind the third green that occurred months ago and still hasn't recovered.


Josh spreading compost to weak fairways.  This work was scheduled right after fairway aeration but then it started to rain…..


Plant material is finally being installed in the pollinating garden behind fifteen green.


Bluebird activity has begun to finally pick up after a slow start.  Here five babies are just about to fledge.


Assuming we can mow fairways this Friday it will mark the first time this season we have mowed fairways our standard three times per week.  Thank goodness for growth regulators!
