Llanerch Golf Course and External Activities

As we end August, we have had 29 days of 90 degrees temperatures or higher which is two more days than the average summer in Philadelphia. It has not seemed very hot to most people because the humidity is been way below average. I can not remember the humidity being so low for so long in the summer. It feels great but can make for some challenging times for the management of plants. The combination of the current weather pattern and the lack of rain is forcing us to rely on the irrigation system. We are hoping that some rain will fall by Friday!?!? As for the aerification, the greens seem to be healing at a healthy pace. Thanks for your patience. 

Today, we started our late summer aerification of greens, tees and approaches. So far, we are on schedule. We will be adding sand and fertilizer to them tomorrow to speed up the healing process.

With some great work from the Golf Shop Staff, you can view what the 1 inch rain that we received on Tuesday looks like on the Practice hole.

I am excited to present an image of the new clock on #1 tee! The Agnes Family was so generous to donate the clock in the memory of Mr. Lou Agnes. Many members have told me how much they love the clock and shared their personal memories with Mr. Agnes. It is truly a great addition to Llanerch!
