- Bi-weekly greens venting to begin 6/16/18 this practice is largely unnoticeable to golfers and has been performed each of the last few seasons for plant performance during summer stress.
The unofficial start of the summer is here and with it brings more inconsistency in our forecast. We have seen four Noreasters in March, a cold dry April and a wet May with temperatures fluctuating from 60's to 90's challenging our patience to play and condition the course. But finally this week welcomed more golfers to enjoy a course starting to pop with color, quicker more consistent greens, and rough with teeth to penalize players missing fairways. Over the next few weeks we will be working to wrap up any open projects and turn all our attention to maintenance and plant health leading into the summer.
