So far this month we've received 2.7" of rain, but 2.58" of it fell over the past week. That much rain combined with the hot, humid weather is stressing the turf and keeping many areas wet. We were hoping to dry out this weekend but the overcast conditions aren't helping. Worn areas are showing up in the high traffic areas around greens and tees, which isn't surprising considering how busy the Men's Invitational was. The cooler temperatures forecast this coming week will help with turf recovery, and the maintenance staff has already implemented different methods of how and where we turn the mowers. A little shot of fertilizer scheduled for later this month will also help the turf bounce back. Golfers can also help by practicing the 90 Degree rule when driving to your ball from the cart path, following the cart directional signs, and keeping all four wheels of the cart on the path around greens and tees.
