Extreme heat and humidity will be affecting a big part of the U.S. this week and golf course superintendents will be playing defense. If you notice some temporary changes in playing conditions, remember that slow grass is better than no grass!

Mid summer weather update. Today will be day 19 in the 90’s. We’ve had 38 days since 5/1 where the dew point hit over 70 & 12 days where it hit over 80. Rain since 5/1 is 9.67”. Total evapotranspiration, 13.51”. That’s a tough summer for the Met area let alone for just 1/2 of it.

It's going to be a scorching hot weekend across much of the U.S. Don't be surprised if you encounter members of the maintenance team hand watering greens. They're working hard to keep the putting surfaces in great shape through this tough weather πŸ‘‡
