Water management will be critical in the next 10 days. High temps are expected. The easy thing to do is irrigate at night. A better option is to irrigate and hand water. Some of our greens have isolated dry spots. Instead of watering the entire green, we try and hand water these small areas. This will help keep our greens health.
This is another image of the reason why we aerify. Notice the darker soil on the bottom. Roots can't penetrate this native soil. This comes from the putting green, our worst green to maintain in my opinion. On most of our greens, the deep tine aerifier can penetrate twice the depth.
This picture shows that our fungicide program is working on the greens. Notice the line in the approach where dollar spot begins. This line is where I turn off/on the sprayer as I make an application. I currently spray greens preventative, tees curative and fairways only preventative for grubs and crab grass.
This is garbage near the lake. Please pick up garbage when you fish. This could end up in the lake and clog the irrigation intake or get into one of the pumps.
