Rusty, our Golf Course Superintendent, shared today that the storms we had over the last 14 days have not hurt us too much. There was some need for re seeding form run off, but thankfully we avoided any significant heavy extended downpours of rain – we were lucky.
There is still some patching on the greens where some areas have prolific growth while others have yet to see signs of growth, but this Bent grass is a creeping variety so we are looking forward to that process kicking in. Rusty does plan to apply some fungicide and nitrogen in the near future which will help in the growing in. We had initially not planned to even put the seed down until September 1, so all the growth we have seen to date is a head start!
The forecast for the week ahead is mid 90’s instead of +100’s with no rain, so as long as we can continue to keep the greens wet, we may see some good forward movement as the week continues!
