The roller coaster continues.  Soil temperatures are measured at 2 PM and have been all over the place.  Friday they were back at 40 degrees.   This is in stark contrast to a year ago when we were at 55 degrees.  Temperatures look to moderate this week so we can finally expect to see some growth.
Annual bluegrass seed head prevention on greens may be inconsistent due to the temperature fluctuations.

This was a week ago Thursday.

Wrapping up creek work on hole five.

Deep tine aeration of greens went great.  Tees will be done next.

Our first fairway fungicide and growth regulator application

 for annual bluegrass reduction occurred this week.

Waitea Patch disease observed on some of the greens this week.  This is a common disease of annual bluegrass and is controlled best by warm temperatures!  Fungicides were applied this week along with growth regulators for annual bluegrass seed head prevention.

Push and pull carts are not permitted on expanded collars around greens and must go around green side bunkers-never between.

Purple martin houses are out and ready for their arrival.  Expect to see them this week!
