We are working on finishing up the 15th green by plugging the worst areas. We are making progress on these greens and keeping a well oxygenated environment helps tremendously. Therefore, we will continue to pencil tine these greens through the fall. As for all greens, we will be picking back up with our double cutting and rolling programs this weekend. You can expect the greens to get a good bit faster in the coming week. Thank you for your patience while we do everything we can to grow grass in these far from desirable micro climates. I think the work we do this winter with ArborCom will really open your eyes to what we are dealing with. As the Penn State plant breeder (Joe Duich, PhD, who is responsible the Penn A4 bentgrass on the greens at Highlands CC) said during a 2000 site visit, "I'm surprised there is as much grass on these greens as there is given the growing conditions around here."
