Wet, Wet Wet

     Wet is the word.  Our 2019 season total for moisture is 58.48 inches.  We broke a record for the wettest May on record and we had the second wettest May through December of 2019.  Our average rainfall for a year is 43'' to 45''.  Since December 14, 2019 we have received 11.61'' of moisture from rain, snow and sleet.  Most course work is at a stand still.  We have been able to cut down several trees that are close to the cart paths or parking lot.  We had 3 days with no rain the beginning of February and we got all of our fairways sprayed.  We applied our post and pre emergent herbicides to control our winter weeds as well as crabgrass and goosegrass.  We also got half of our tees sprayed for Poa control.  Not only has it been wet but we have had spring like temperatures mixed in with some cold weather.  Our coldest day of winter will happen tomorrow morning when it is expected to get down to 7 degrees.  2 days later we are back to 50 degrees.  It looks like we will have some dry time next week.  I still have some drainage work I need to get done on holes 14 and 17 greens.  After that we have lots of tree trimming to do.  With all the rain we received a lot of painting got done.  We painted our in and out post, all ball washers were cleaned and painted and we put out newly painted tee blocks.  Spring is right around the corner.  Spring Green Aerification will take place 3/30/2020 and 3/31/2020.
