It has been raining for two days, the golf course is covered in debris, and we're completely behind on mowing. That's life on a golf course! Better to look on the bright side than dwell on the negatives.
We took advantage of the rain to perform some duties that require rain or irrigation. All the fairways and approaches have been sprayed with a fungicide to combat Spring Dead Spot and an insecticide to calm down the grub activity. Tees were fertilized along with all of our new sod around the greens. I'll give credit to my staff members for dealing with the elements.
The forecast for the foreseeable future looks ideal and we'll get caught up on our work. The greens will be our biggest project to maintain. They have not been mowed for two days and if the rain does not stop it will be a third. Since we aerified the greens, 10 days ago, they have received extra amounts of fertility to help the healing process. Well, they are growing out of their mind right now. It will take a few mowing's to get them back down to their correct height.
