Llanerch Golf Course and External Activities

With the weather going from bad to worse in the past few days, we have postponed greens aerification until tomorrow. We plan to be finished aerifying, todressing and brooming the greens by noon on Friday. This is all weather dependent.  We are hoping to have the course open by noon on Friday. I am sorry for the delay. I will post an update tomorrow to inform everyone on how the aerification is proceeding.

Last year, it seemed like it rained every day from August to November. This spring has been extremely dry. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA has posted a special weather warning know as "Red Flag" because of the low humidity combined with high winds and sunny days. The "Red Flag" symbolizes a need for greenkeepers to be diligent in applying water to the turf. A common mistake is to think that because its not "hot", the turf will be fine without irrigation.  Dry conditions can do just as much damage at 55 degrees as 90 degrees. So when you see irrigation running on the course, this post will hopefully explain why we are doing it.
