The weather finally warmed up about 2-3 weeks ago. The grass is now responding, oh boy is it responding! About .5" of growth per hour!! The close to 10" of rain in the last 2 weeks probably had a little bit of say in that and now we need to mow. I mean mow. "And when you guys finish hole 18, don't even think of washing the unit off, start again".
The warmth and plentiful moisture finally woke the turf up and it was all we could do to stay on top of it. This past week the rough machines logged as many hours as I've ever seen. The primary rough was cut 4 times in 5 days to stay fair for golf. The fescue areas were chopped down 3 times and raked up. Due to the slow start this spring, I've learned my lesson on using fertilizer to wake things up. I decided to hold off and let nature take it's course. I can't begin to imagine with a lb. of N on this rough what we'd been up against. Once we get some dryer, warmer weather heading towards mid summer we will apply a slow release product to keep the turf green and healthy through the season.
