Up and down and around we go with the crazy weather.  This week has been very trying with the heat and humidity but conditions improve Friday and it looks a nice beginning for our club  championship.


What's more fitting than this as an example of our summer.  Three measly tenths of rain and nowhere for it to go.  This was after a two inch deluge the night before.


All we can say is bring on aerification.  I decided to try these bayonet tines on our fairways as they are SO compacted and these might do the trick.


We finally found a window to apply some herbicides in the rough to control yellow nutsedge.


Today we solid tined the greens to help them breathe.  This won't effect ball roll for our competitions this weekend.


Most of our fairways will bounce back quickly.  Here recovery is occurring in some dormant turf with those four dream days we just experienced.


Ten fairway looking good and in recovery mode but set right back with this awful weather.


We are relocating our greens nursery to below 15 tee. 


The crew has begun installing landscape edging around beds on the course.  This will improve their appearance and reduce labor.


Beautiful sunrise on August 25th with temperatures in the upper 50's!


Gill continues to be a friend to all.  What a treat it is having her!
