Dealing with a HISTORIC HEAT WAVE!

Leaf blowers have been used to promote air flow as seen here on 17 green.
We are also using industrial fans to keep air moving across green surfaces with poor air flow like 15 green.

Cooling turf surfaces with short irrigation cycles (usually one minute per station or less) is method used to relieve heat stress on the plant.



Greens are vented using needle tine aeration to promote positive air, water and nutrient movement through the surface.
