Latest on the Cuscowilla greens

Another week has passed by since our last update on the greens process. I was asked this week if the heavy rains we had on Sunday and Monday will have affected our progress. We did experience 4 ½” of rain in two days this week along with much cooler temperatures. Rain really helps when it is not followed by intense humidity and +90 degree temperatures. This was therefore an excellent thing for us to get as we were struggling in the September heat to keep the entire surface of each green evenly watered. I’m attaching a picture this week of the bentgrass cuttings collected after just cutting 6 greens – you would not normally see this much mass of grass after cutting the entire golf course greens, so we are seeing a significant growth of the grass vertically. What we need to see is more lateral growth.

Cooler temperatures are ahead for the next 7 days and another light rain day today will help. Can you believe it is going to get down to a low of 48 degrees on Saturday night this week! Thank you all for your continued interest and support of Cuscowilla,
