July is beginning to look a lot like June. Here is a picture of what Friday afternoon looked like after a half an inch of rain fell in about 20 minutes. 3.15 inches fell throughout the month of June. So far after 5 days in July we have reached .79 inches. The rains are keeping the course green but there are wet spots. We are trying to keep up with them daily, however with the lack of elevation change throughout the course it makes it difficult in areas. The temperature was 37 degrees this morning, it provided some frosty leaf blades throughout the course. C'mon sun.
Bethpage Black needed a crew like the one at VGC, Steve.
ReplyDeleteI am continually thankful for the work your guys and gals do when Mother Nature provides challenges!
Looks as if this fairway needs drainage and should pick up the "pond" on the north side of the bunkers....
Is it on the capital list?
Thank you for the nice words Rick. It has certainly been a challenge at times this year. As for drainage throughout the course, yes it is certainly in the plans. However that was a powerful storm we had on Friday. Life in the flood plain has it's limitations but we are looking into it.
