Sprigs 13, 6

Tuesday, August 09, 2011

The sprigs that were planted on July 13 are coming in nicely.  They were mowed and fertilized today.  Even with the pre-emergent herbicide that we put down, some weeds have germinated.  We will spray herbicides for them as soon as we can.  We are having to be very judicious with our water right now due to a 4 week drought but we have to keep the sprigs growing in.  We are currently hand watering tees and fairways but do have over 5 feet of water below the pumps.  We received under a tenth of an inch of rain last night but every little bit helps.  Cooler temperatures start Thursday.
