We are slowly cutting back on the irrigation and of course this will lead to the drying of the golf course. But this also leads to the defoliation of the trees or greater leaf drop. This is a side effect for which there is no cure.
This upcoming weekend there will be limited staff ... a set up person and supervisor. This means that for the weekend and Monday and Tuesday no mowing of the greens will occur. This serves two major purposes: First, allowing us to utilize the manpower in overseeding prep; and second to allow the greens to grow slightly thus providing a better scalp.
You may also have seen the foam dots on the fairways. This is the application of the growth regulator slows the growth of the bermudagrass hopefully enough to allow the ryegrass to grow first.
