     August came in and the temperatures dropped. My staff and our greens were very glad to see the cooler temps. Before the cooler weather arrived we solid tine all of our greens.  This helps our greens get through hot and wet summer stress periods.  We started using our Aerway to aerate our fairways.  The Aerway cuts a 7 inch deep slit.  We have 3 holes left to get done.  Rain the last week has slowed down our progress. Next week we will be over seeding all of our greens with Pure Distinction bentgrass.  This is the newest generation of bentgrass seed.  We over seeded last year 3 times.  I hope to over seed this year 2 times.  We are also gearing up to start over seeding our roughs.  This takes about 2 months to complete.  We will be over seeding turf type tall fescue and bluegrass into all of our roughs.  We have started to work on the big oak tree that fell across the fence on hole # 12.  I hope to have it cleaned up by the end of next week.   Lastly we will be doing fall green aerification the Tuesday and Wednesday after Labor day,  9/5/17 and 9/6/17. I will have a little more on aerification later.  The golf course is in good shape I hope you can come on out and enjoy the course.
