The weather has finally broken and the course is responding accordingly.  Last week was tough.  Too much rain continued to plague us and prevented greens aeration and seeding throughout the course.  This week promises to be long like the rough.  Greens aeration started today and will wrap up tomorrow.  Please don't fret as we are using a very small coring tine.  Light topdressing will be applied afterwards followed by seeding.  The greens should be very good for upcoming competitions.

After cleaning up the plugs and then rolling the surface looks like this.  Sand will be added tomorrow.

 

 

Throughout this mess we somehow managed to have excellent germination in the fairways.  This is best observed in the morning dew.

 

 

Luis seeding two fairway on Thursday.  The worst fairways were seeded first.  Seedlings were observed this morning-five days!

 

 

Taking time to smell the roses.  Asters in profusion on the third hole.

 

A closer look.

 

A moonlit morning.

 

 

An awesome sunrise this morning greeting an improved third fairway.
