The Aftermath

While I had plans to finish verticutting fairways this week, Mother Nature had other ideas. Tropical Storm Colin brought us two days of wet, windy weather. At the end of it we had accumulated 8.75 inches of rain and 2 downed trees. There is still a fair amount of standing water but the guys worked hard to clean up most of the debris today. On the bright side, the greens loved all the rain and the holes from last week's aerification are starting to close. Delayed by the weather, we were finally able to get out and perform a verticut and mow on the greens this afternoon. They look really healthy and should be back to normal soon.

The crew continues to clean up piles of thatch left behind from the fairway verticutting. We hope to get out and complete the process as the golf course dries out. The summer annuals have also arrived this week so we can look forward to seeing new flowers over the next few days.
