Warm Afternoon

The highs today look to be in the high 50's.  With that being said, we are changing hole locations (pin position 9) and rolling greens with walk mowers.  When we roll greens this way, we use old greens mowers that have been modified for this purpose.  This type of rolling requires more man hours than a riding roller but is less aggressive.  We are laying down lattice around our greens to turn the walk mowers on to prevent damage to the dormant turf.  The greens are being rolled to smooth out imperfections, provide as good of a surface as possible, and to prepare them for mowing.  Temperatures look good tomorrow as well but we dive back into the 30's for Friday and Saturday.  We are also doing work on the driving range practice bunker and installing irrigation at grounds.  Enjoy the weather while it lasts!
