My time has been scarce this week and so have my posts. We are wrapping up the install of the fans on #1 and #15 today. Those should both be turning very soon. The trenching and install has gone well and you will see that if you decide to challenge the heat today. Today's forecast calls for highs near 100 so we will be on high alert to syringe if necessary. Greens held up excellent yesterday and I expect the same thing today. The other project that is coming to an end is the areas between 10 and 12, 11 and 12, and 12 and 14. We have pushed off the sprigs until Tuesday due to today's extreme heat and to allow a little more prep time. Sprigs are perishable and have to be delivered on a refrigerated truck. I would hate to lose some of them to today's heat. The prep will be finished between today and Monday. You will notice the mulch bed installations and sod around the irrigation components and drop inlets. Have a great weekend. Temperatures look much better after tomorrow.
