Repaired the Drainage pipe on #13 (Mini Excavator was rented along with another pump to help remove water. After almost a week of work we were unable to remove enough water to fully replace the pipe. We opted to take a different method of repair in wrapping the pipe with mesh and back filling with gravel to create a French drain. Continue repairing ongoing irrigation issues (Repairing Boxes from lightning and other routine service issues) Ninja Tines on the greens twice to help with removal of thatch and organic materials Verti cut greens twice with weekly top dressing Bunkers were edged and detailed after two weeks of constant rain. Some bunkers will have sand added in the upcoming weeks due to washout with rains Although Fairways continue to improve with two fertility apps this month, we have had to play a little catch up with one of the fairway units being down and parts on back order. All parts have been delivered and installed hoping to be fully operational at the beginning of Aug. Weeds are an ongoing process with many signs of improvements this month
Summer heat is in full throttle! To stay hydrated is essential Drinking plenty of water before, during and after your round is a must When Gatorade first came the market is was the only sports drink available! Now the grocery stores you can walk past 25 different spo drinks before you get to Gatorade! I saw an ad on the Golf Channel for a powder supplement that boasts 3 times the amount of “replenishing fluids” than Gatorade! When we played sports (pre Gatorade) in heat the coaches gave us water and those amazing salt tablets! Image how far we have come!
