First Round

I played my first round of golf today. It was a good day to be away from the course. Lots of rain fell and really limited the amount of work that was done on the course. As for maintenance, some mowing was done and some areas of clean up. Irrigation was able to finish with mainline install on #7 and move to #4, however calling it quits early due to heavy rain fall. Progress on #3 was slow as well, all areas are just about complete except for re-grassing. In the words of the on-site Superintendent, Tom Keefe, " You can't prep mud". We'll have another "go" in the morning.
Oh yeah, as for golf, I played Fox Hollow in Lakewood, part of a benefit tournament for the son of a fellow Superintendent and very good friend of mine. This 6 year is battling a brain tumor and putting up one heck of a fight. It was an inspiring day and not mention the fact that playing other courses always fuels my energy to contribute to a better golf course.
