Both greens have been managed with the same mowing, fertility, and moisture management programs. What separates these two? Sunlight. Shade is the limiting factor between these two surfaces. Lower trajectory of the sun this time of year means slower growth 📉@Chatham_Hills

Outstanding views at the Irish open flat calm and some players already on course. Could be some scores today

Wind is much lighter today at the Irish open but you don't have to hit that bad a shot to be in trouble and rack up a big number. True links challenge out there

❄️🥶The low temps come to an end🌡️

Root shear has long lasting implications.

Drain from 9th completely blocked with tree roots. Later found a much larger pipe blocked too. Investigation will continue to find a solution

Fall foliage is beautiful backdrop for golf, but once the leaves start dropping the pleasantries are over. Cleaning up the mess is necessary for playability and turf health, but it comes at a substantial cost.
You can just see the lines of new seed 10 days after we Dyna seeded. Probably our best strike yet. We are going to do this again in the coming weeks when weather is right. Always trying to get better.

An interesting comparison of two adjacent fine turf mixes here. All applied treatments are equal and minimal. When it comes to sustainable turf management, it’s worth considering grasses that need minimal inputs (eg water, fert, PPP) to achieve optimum turf quality.
