True to form, July has arrived with all of its heat and humidity. After Monday this heat wave ends for a bit with hopefully some needed rain. The course continues to excel. Most of the turf is performing well but this heat is showing some areas of weakness. Our members are to be commended for keeping their carts on the path in the afternoons this week. It really does help, and the grass and my staff thank you!

July 4th and the Bowers are over. My crew can finally breathe a sigh of relief and get back to basic golf course management. Weather has been especially nice this summer with timely rain and minimal heat stress. This can change rapidly and probably will at some point, so no time to let our guard down. Overall, the course is performing well. The reduction in heat stress is noticeable. Senior Club Championship is next on the docket in two weeks. Let's hope this nice weather continues.

Member Guest was a resounding success. Special kudos to my staff for all their hard work. The three-inch deluge was an unexpected hurdle, but they did a remarkable job putting the course back together and making it a memorable event for all the competitors.
