Course Update 5/14/22

Last week was a challenge for the maintenance team after receiving 3.77" of rain over 4 days, but we made up for it this week thanks to the 5-day stretch of dry weather.  We've received 4.53" of rain over the past 14 days but our average rainfall is only 4.43" for the entire month.  Let's hope the dry weather continues!

The rough is experiencing the spring flush of growth and we're throwing every mower and blower we have to keep it under control.  It will probably be another couple of weeks until it transitions from the seeding stage and begins to thin out.  Broadleaf weeds continue to be a nuisance and we'll continue with herbicide applications as the weather permits.  Rain, excessive wind, and heat prevent us from applying herbicides and we don't want to risk damaging non-target plants.

Course signs were recently updated with new logos and a fresh coat of paint.

Rough mowers had their hands full this week with how fast the grass is growing.
