Cool nights

We had a rough stretch of mid 90's highs and mid 70's lows 2 weeks ago. This past week had 70's highs and a few 50's lows. Our bent/poa mix greens perform much better in the lower temp range. When the temp and humidity are high this allows the bent and poa to grow at different rates and creates a puffy surface. Expect to get a much smoother ball roll as this weather pattern continues.

Rough is tough

After the 4" of rain we got in the last 10 days the rough is happy again. We are getting after it with everything we have. Four rough mowers with operators going at 12 hours per day which is just keeping up with growth. Accuracy trumps distance until we are able to get this under control!
