No precipitation in 12 days with high E.T’s, low dew points, low humidity & high skies…lost 6mm x 12 or 72mm (3”)…running deficit irrigation scheduling across the course to save 💦 ..traffic management is key, bringing back the European hoops 😉👊

Simple wins require observation & a little effort…the clay 🎾 tennis court “Tread Buster” needed more than impervious pavers…NEW drainage sump with stone border does the job …drainage line will daylight into Hemlocks ♻️

Effort before the Crew even begin regular chores…Oak tassels are prolific across the board…every bunker and green require cleaning before finish…I’d say they did well…🙏👌👏✅
