Summertime...

If your last name is grass, you have had a  tough summer... Unless, of course, your first name is crab, goose or bermuda!!! Golf courses throughout the Mid-Atlantic region have suffered through high daytime and night time temperatures, untimely thunderstorms or no rain at all.



Notice the dew point at 82!!! Any dew point above 65 is sticky but at 82 you could quite literally cut it with a knife!

The good news is that the days are getting shorter and the average temperatures are dropping a couple of degrees per day.  


We have suffered our share of dings here at the Pines but there is still enough good turf to work with this fall; we will be aerating the golf course next week so with a little help from Mother Nature the road to recovery can begin!
