Golf Course Update

I feel like I keep blogging about the same subject: rain. As we tried to aerify greens yesterday, the rain kept making the task more difficult. We did get all the greens aerified but did not get sand topdress down on five of the greens. The wet turf makes putting the sand down to fill the aerification holes almost impossible. Our level of success in filling the holes determines how fast they will heal (ie: the more the hole is filled to the surface, the faster they disappear). We will spend the entire day trying every technique possible to fill the holes. We also have the forecast threat of flooding rains coming tomorrow also prompting us to finish today. Updates will follow.

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.
