Heat Wave!

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!

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.
