I don't have to tell any one that it's really hot this week. We just tied the record of most days (26) in a row that the night temperature did not got below 70 degrees! I just came off the course to type this post at the temperature is 92 degrees but the heat index is 105 degrees when you consider humidity. The course has been holding in there pretty well considering the weather. I hope everyone enjoys what should be a bit cooler weekend! FYI.....the post picture is of the sun over 16 green taken at 5:58am today.
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.
