Roll? Hmmm....maybe?

As the next heat wave comes upon us, we are taking many pro-active steps to protect the turf. As many readers of this blog know, I have a steadfast rule that when we have temperatures in the lower and mid-90 degrees or above, we stop rolling greens until it cools down. For some reason, the greens start to "thin out" when we roll them  in high temperatures. That being said, this coming Thursday's forecast calls for a day where temperatures might drop back below our threshold. If so, we roll on Thursday. Thanks for your understanding regarding this matter!

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!
