Yesterday afternoon, we began light verticutting of putting greens on the golf course. We also started double cutting, but that won't become routine until we receive our seasonal staff later in May. In fact, it looks as if we'll have boots on the ground by May 18th. Labor has been a huge challenge with all the golf courses in the Highlands/Cashiers area. The greens are rolling 10'6" this morning and that stimpmeter reading will increase as the days progress and warmer temperature become more consistent. Regardless, I am very happy with where we are right now.
You can see we have a chilly Saturday and Sunday ahead of us and were hopeful we receive more rain on Saturday for the sake of the community.
