Weather

 
It looks like the afternoon thunderstorms will continue through Tuesday.  Below, is the software on my office computer that shows the data provided by the Toro Turfguard sensors.  It's a great way to monitor when the greens will need supplemental water by irrigation.  In addition to moisture, they measure soil temperatures and salinity.  The moisture is relatively high right now due to the afternoon storms we've been having.  In a perfect world, having the soil moisture hang out around 11-12% is ideal in regards to playability and surface firmness.
