Between the cooler than normal spring and lack of rain (until just last week), tree pollen is ever where! For anyone who has allergies, it has been a tough few weeks. We have spent the last few weeks raking, mulching and blowing pollen. I am hoping the trees will be done dropping pollen in the next week or so. On the course, we have been concentrating on trying to keeping the rough at a manageable height. As with every May, the rough really starts to grow.
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!
