The forecast has changed for the rest of the week. Rain expected Thursday and Friday. We will mow out roughs today and follow up with playing areas tomorrow and Friday. Depending on how the forecast changes. This weather pattern we are in is not pushing Bermudagrass growth. Soon it will warm up and stay hot for the summer. I keep thinking that is about to happen and then it cools off again.

Wow. What is this, 44 degrees this morning. Yesterday afternoon got a little uncomfortable with the high winds and cool temps. Today should be a little bit warmer. But still cool for this time of year. This weekend will be very nice, getting back to normal on Sunday with highs near 90. Golf Course is coming along as temperature will allow. Greens are picking up pace as we remove more and more leaf tissue. Tees, collars and fairways are being cut for the weekend. Should be a nice weekend. Get out and enjoy the course.

The drying that we had done over the last week or so was very nice. It allowed us to get out and do some things on the course. We got the cart path edged and did a lot of debris pickup. Yesterday's rain was enough to get the course wet again. Hopefully that is all the rain for this weekend. Next week looks to be more like winter. Maybe these weekly multiple inch rain events are behind us now.
