A "pop up" storm came through last night at 5pm dumping almost a half inch of rain in a short period of time. The course just received 1.5" the previous 24 hours, making it very soft and difficult to mow. With the humidity back up and constant cloud cover, the course is drying down much slower than we would like. In weather patterns like this, even the best fungicide programs may not always work. Lucky we had our fairway aerifier still hooked up from July so only thing we can do is punch holes to help them dry out quicker. Even though we started punching at 7pm, we got a few areas done before night set in and will continue this morning. Will it help or hurt the turf, who knows but we are running out of options.
