This picture says it all! We are in the second day of what looks to be a six day long heat wave. Yesterday we had a temperature of 95 degrees and a heat index of 101 degrees! As you can expect, the grass is not a big fan of this weather. To reduce stress on the turf, we will do most of our needed mowing in the morning when it is cooler outside. As I have stated before, we will not be rolling the greens until the heat wave is over but we are still mowing greens every day. Stay cool!
Today marks the beginning of mobilization of equipment on # 8 for the upcoming restoration. Our golf course contractor is Total Turf and with golf course architect Brian Schneider from Renaissance Golf, they will be teaming up to open a new chapter in Llanerch's storied history.
