As I write this post, it is raining at Llanerch. We have received over 10 inches of rain in the month of June. This year's June is the wettest June since the NOAA kept records! How does this fact effect the golf course, you might ask. First, long periods of rain is not good for turf. The water pushes the oxygen out of the soil profile. The lack of oxygen makes the grass turn yellow and soft. This is why you see us aerify some of the wetter greens with very tiny aerification tines to promote air movement and help dry them out. Also, We will be adding more sand to certain areas to help drainage. Lets hope sunny skies are coming soon.
