Here comes the Heat

An excessive heat warning has been posted for the Philadelphia tri-state area for today and tomorrow. Instead of roll the putting greens both of these day, we are only going to mow them. Our "rule of thumb" is if the temperatures are above 92 degrees, we do not roll. The roller just adds too much stress to the turf. Once the temperatures lower, we will start rolling them again. That being said, I just putted on a few of them this morning and they are still rolling very well.

With the help of architects Brian and Blake, we are now seeing what the new bunkers look like. This one is on 10 green right side. They will not have the fescue "eyebrow" we have had in the past. For more updates, please follow me @BrendanJByrne01 on Twitter.

Golf Course Update (Groundhog Day Version)

Another day without rain. That has been the story for the last 2 weeks. We have been working hard to keep the course with just enough water to keep the plants alive and still be firm and fast. You will also notice that we are no longer mowing the intermediate cut around fairways. With the planned addition of 3 to 4 acres of fairway, it was deemed unnecessary to keep it. If you have any questions regarding the renovation, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you and see you on the course!
