Tuesday

 
We've been narrowly missing rain every afternoon at the Club.  This was the scene at my home just 1 mile from the Club on Monday evening.  Hail!
 
 
I am participating in a Lebanon Fertilizer Focus Group and using the 18th tee boxes as my test areas.  Lebanon Fertilizer owns Anderson's Fertilizer, formerly Scott's.  Scott's is still around and is the home market brand while Anderson's is the commercial brand.  Lebanon Fertilizer is a big portion of the granular fertilizer products I use, based out of Pennsylvania.
 
 
We made our first fairway spray of the year, a combination of fertilizer, and 2 fungicides and a plant growth regulator.  We will spray every 21 days (3 weeks) through October.  There may be a time in July and August we tighten that window to 2 weeks due to increased disease pressure.
