Watch What You Wish For!

 For April, May and June our staff worked extremely hard to keep new sod and seed alive, with high temps, low humidity and almost no rainfall.  I remember hoping for a few downpours to help us keep new grass alive and help germinate the out of play fescue seed.

The rains came and havent let up for almost 3 weeks.  Creating playability issues and hampering maintenance.

Once the humidity kicked, grass has been growing like a weed, leaving clippings everywhere.  Regardless of growth regulators and frequent mowings, once the natural rainfall releases all the nutrients in the soil you are fighting it until the humidity and rainfall subside.
