Rain, Rain, Rain, Rain and wait for it........Rain!


 

 

The weather was not exactly what I had hoped for when planning for a maintenance day.  First off the reason for a maintenance day is to try and get very important cultural practices done on the course.  Here is a list of the things that we got done in the two days even with battling almost 2 inches of rain.  This would take our team several days if not weeks to get all of this work done in front of play.  Closing nine a day gives us a chance to get this work done.

Greens were: Mown vertically twice, blown off, top dressed, brushed, and then rolled

 

Derek on the Verti Cut
 
 

Keegan and Corey blowing off the greens
 
 


 

Tees were: Sliced, mown vertically twice and then cut

 

 

Mark Slicing the Tees


 

Fairways were: sliced, mown vertically once

 

Ruth Marking the fairway sprinkler heads and drain covers
 

Keith Slicing the fairways with the aerway
 

Don verti cutting the fairways
 
 

When it is this wet the plan had to change several times but, I am happy with the work we accomplished.  I am very proud of the Turf Team they never cease to amaze me. 
 
Thanks for reading
