When the greens reopen.....



The greens are scheduled to reopen August 24th, I wanted to inform everyone of what to expect on the putting surface. WARNING, the greens will not be FAST. They are still in the "grow in" phase and it is imperative to have the greens completely grow in prior to dormancy. If we start managing for speed we take a risk that we will not have 100% turf cover going into winter. 
I would expect the greens to roll between an 8.5 and 9.5 and slightly bumpy once we open, similar to a bent grass aerification. However, as we continue ahead the greens will only get better. If you have any questions, please shoot me an email and I will be happy to respond.
