Hot, Hot, Hot

Yesterday was the hottest day of the year. In this picture, we used an infrared laser to measure the temperature of the 3rd green. It was 107 degrees! The only green that was hotter was the 18th. It was 109 degrees! The extreme hot weather will continue from today into at least Saturday night. As I have written before in this blog, we do not roll greens in high heat. We are trying to "nurse" the turf through the heat. We will start to roll greens again once the temperatures drop next week (if they do drop).

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.

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.
