100 degrees

We hit 100 again today.  That's 2 in a row.  A couple of years ago we only had 5 days in the 90's all summer.  90 on Friday will seem cool.  We skipped mowing greens, tees and fairways again today.  We instead rolled the greens.  I had Dave raise the height of cut on greens for Friday and the weekends.  I'm affraid we'll damage turf if we stay at the lower cut.  We'll go back to normal when it gets cooler.  After being wet in April, May and June, we now have drought contions.  The forecast is for rain on Friday and Saturday, but only 50%.  We could really use .5 inches.  The course is holding up, but another week of this could really hurt the rough.  It might stay brown for the rest of the season.
