Just as we were able to catch up on mowing following the Memorial Day weekend storms, we were hit with another two inches of rain on Wednesday, bringing our total to seven inches in just one week.

​

We will continue catching up on rough mowing and managing the flush of growth as quickly as possible, but golfers should expect some difficult lies in the rough until next week.

​

Before Wednesday’s storms arrived, we applied preventative fungicides and plant growth regulators to the greens and approaches to help slow the excessive growth we anticipated from the rain. The applications worked perfectly, allowing us to return the course to excellent conditions by Friday, 5/29.

​

With a favorable 10-day forecast ahead, we plan to become more aggressive with our playing surface maintenance to continue delivering top-notch conditions throughout the golf course.

​

We are very pleased with how the golf course handled the heavy rainfall. At the same time, the storms highlighted several opportunities for additional drainage improvements that will help us return carts to the course more quickly after future rain events.
