Hole in white applied to the hole. Key is the bucket...touch up paint. #usopen



Just a minute ago on number #15. #usopen awesome shot of fairway mowers.

HDTV makes things look worse than they are. This is perhaps the worst area on any green and there's lots of green in there. Recovery begins tomorrow. #usopen

Blowing, rolling, and raking #5 @ #usopen.

Mr. G walks #7 green after the double cut and roll. (I was replacing the tees for the players positions from last night) #usopen

Hydraulic Tree


In preparation for the warmer weather of the summer... do we have summer here? We have re-written the hydraulic tree on our central control computer.  This computer operates the irrigation system in the most efficient way possible, as long as it is programmed properly.

If you would like to read more about the irrigation system you can visit www.turfhugger.com for a four part series called system check.  I wrote this series a while back to help explain the importance of the irrigation system and the procedures that can be taken in the spring to ensure there will be no suprises come summer.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Turfgrass Disease


This last weekend we had some heavy rain.  The spring has stayed cool which has given us some disease pressure. 

This is a picture of Snow Mold, a disease that is common on Poa in cooler wet weather.

If you have any questions or comments about turf disease or the course in general please contact me.
