Being held hostage by the weather is nothing new to golf course superintendents and their staff. Long range plans involve hoping for windows of oppurtunity that may arrive earlier or later than would be othewise desired.
The sand on the back nine greens finally dried out enough to brush-in on Thursday evening. That night it rained another 1.3 inches and really washed in the sand well. On Saturday morning we were able to mow greens for the first time. The greens will be fertilized in the coming weeks and we hope we have nice weather for quick recovery. The tees will be aerified during the coming week, the weather looks good now but we all know how that goes sometimes.
Last week was a wet and dreary week at the golf course, however this weather was nice for the seed we have spread, and it also gave the fairways a nice break from traffic. While we were unable to mow because of the wet ground, we did use those days to put out more seed and topdressing all over the fairways. The sand we are using is 100% recycled bunker sand from 18 greenside bunkers.
I have been working with some new video editing software and would like to share with everyone the first video I have edited with it. I made the video on Saturday morning while I rode around the golf course. All footage was taken using my cell phone. I hope you enjoy.
