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.

Sod, Sod, Sod

Starting yesterday, the construction crew began sodding the 18th green complex. They have installed bentgrass for the fairway extensions, low cut bluegrass for the intermediate cut and turf type tall fescue for the rough. They also installed some fine fescue on the bunker edges. We plan to finish sodding by tonight but might need to purchase a small quantity more next week to fix some construction wounds.
