Seems to be getting old...talking about the rain, but that is the topic of choice for 2013. Luckily we have had decent warm weather for some of our tournament dates in the month of June, but for regular everyday play the weather has not cooperated. Even at this point in the season we have not really had a consistent period of routine maintenance. We have only had two weeks all season without a "no mow" day or a rain out. Unfortunately this disruption in regular maintenace shows in conditions. At this point we have not been able to apply any herbicide to the rough to control clover. Diseases like Dollar Spot have popped up on tees and fairways, yet we need to wait for dry weather to apply curative fungicides to control. We are all looking forward to some sunny, dry weather...also with school coming to an end we are looking forward to our summer students joining our team on a daily basis. They provide a great help on detail work and a great number of other tasks on the golf course.
