What started as a lousy week with smoke filled skies and chances of rain turned into a beautiful 3 days for the Invitational. Cooler and drier weather allowed us to have the course play the way it is meant to be played, firm and fast. A culmination of great agronomic programs, weather and our staff had the course set up similar to a US Open. By Saturday afternoon the course finally needed to be hydrated significantly but all in all the turf held up well. A big thanks again to my staff for getting the course in top condition despite no rainfall and less than ideal growing weather. Each year we see the course take another positive step in the right direction. Once a new irrigation system is installed, it will be less stressful on the staff trying to keep the course looking and playing consistent.
