Rain, rain, go away!!!

We have been extremely wet this spring and the last few days have been no different. We finished June with 8.5 inches of rain for the month. Two inches came down Sunday to finish the month off. Apparently we are going to continue this trend in the beginning of July. We got another 1.5 inches yesterday, with more coming today and tomorrow.

All of this rain has gotten us a little behind on a few things. It has been too wet to mow. With all of the rain, we have had some weeds breakthrough. As soon as the course dries off enough to get on it, the mowers will be out in full force and these weeds will be sprayed out. The bunkers have taken a beating over the last couple of days, as well. There is a full crew working to get them back in shape right now. This may take a couple of days to finish, as this is bad as I have seen these bunkers wash.

Hopefully next week we will be venting greens again. This time we will be pulling out 1/4" cores. This process will help open the greens up and dry them out a little quicker. We used these tines on the practice green and the holes were pretty much all healed in three days.
