First assault, 100 day war - 2014

This year's first assault on the 100 day war (a.k.a - summer aerification) has gone pretty smooth so far. At the last minute I modified the game plan a little bit due to a lack of available irrigation water from the City.
I didn't want to totally shred the golf course and not be 100% certain I would be able to nurture the course back to health, so I cancelled the heavy verti-cutting of the playing surfaces. Despite the mild set back, the vast majority of aerifications and standings are taking place.

With all the rains as of late (none of which have hindered our closure thank goodness), it looks like the City's irrigation supply is building back up quickly.  We should be able to accomplish our agronomic goals throughout the summer in the long run.
