We got only .25 overnight. It was much heavier to the North and South. The course really greened up this last week. The forecast is dry and warm for the weekend and up until Tuesday. That should make for a great weekend. We kept only #14 to cart paths only, and hopefully will open it back up on Saturday. We will catch up on some mowing on Saturday and Sunday. I let the crew go home early on Thurday with the rain. They are tired from the heat and took advantage of the afternoon off.
We started work on a project behind the practice tee. Plans are for a putting green or chipping green. It should be seeding by the end of the month. I hope it would be ready for play next spring.
Plans for Greens aerifation are mid September followed by Tees and Small Fairways. We will be doing this in house to save money this year. I can't wait any longer because I need to cut staff October 1. Also, the earlier I start, the more time we have until the first frost. Frost really slows the process down. The average first frost is around October 10.
