Greens Update

Since we aerified greens 3 weeks ago, we have been hit with some cold weather. The soil temperatures at 4" deep were about 57 degrees on the day we aerified and that following weekend. We saw a great initial flush of growth and some good healing of the holes because of these temps and the fertilizers we put out. After the temps dropped to some morning lows of around 26 degrees, the 4" soil temp went down into the low 40's. This shut down almost all healing and growth. With the good temperatures of the last 3 days, and the fertilizers we put out in anticipation of these temps, we are finally seeing some more healing of the holes. We will continue to fertilize and mow and roll the greens until they are completely healed in and rolling around 12' again on the stimpmeter. Thanks for your patience in our healing. We can't control Mother Nature. All we can do is roll with the punches she throws at us.
