After a soggy weekend the sun finally returned this afternoon and we were thankful that we only received 2.5" of rain and no damage to the course. The bunkers did have some minor erosion of sand of the faces of the bunker, but that is to be expected. We were able to repair all of the bunkers, mow the Clubhouse, and finish up some landscaping near the restrooms at the intersection #3 Fairway, # 5 Green, and #6 Tees. I will post pictures of these areas tomorrow.
Once the sun came out this afternoon, we were very surprised that some of the native Azaleas finally popped and they are amazing as you can see from the picture below.
The Clubhouse was mowed and will be mowed again tomorrow to get a slightly better cut on the turf as the wet overseeded 419 was very thick, but the lines did stand out.
We did measure Green speeds this afternoon with our faithful Stimpmeter and we were quite surprised to find greens rolling at 11.1' after a single cut and roll. We were expecting the Greens to be around the 10' mark after the rain and lack of sunshine over the weekend. Here is a few pictures of Tim Murdock our Second Assistant Superintendent in the process of stimping Greens.
