Weather Update.

After the month of June treated us so well with cool weather, July is taking us for a beating.
95 degrees is the temperature that we begin to kick our greens maintenance into overdrive. When the temperature reaches this point we begin to scout for dry spots on the greens through out the day and then syringe greens in the afternoon to cool the canopy.
For a recap of the Year to date; in month of May we had 5 days where the high temperature exceeded 95 degrees. In the month of June we only had 3 days. So far in five days in July, 4 of the days have exceeded 95 degrees.
So summer is definitely here. We appreciate your patience when we have to handwater and syringe greens.
For your friends that follow from Palos Verdes, we have had 4 Days this year in excess of 100 degrees. Was that a jacket I saw you wearing this weekend?
