Catching up.

With the heavy rains last week, we were only able to mow rough on Monday and the week before that we were unable to mow the entire course once. Needless to say our rough is shaggy and because we are not trying to be a US Open course that has 5 different cuts of rough, most of which are long, it needs cut. So, yesterday the rough mowers were able to get about half of the course mowed and they made a mess which we cleaned up by sending a blower around with them. Now, even though the rough is out of control, it could have been a lot worse had we not sprayed growth regulation on the rough this spring. We did this to control the plant's seed head production, but it also slows down the growth of the plant. I know some spots are long out there but it could have been worse, which is a scary thought! The rain that's in the forecast today will probably slow us down, but we should be caught up mowing by the weekend. I'm sorry if you've had to play out of some overly deep rough and I assure you we're doing our best to catch up.

This is freshly mowed and one of our guys will clean this up with a blower but, maybe we should bale it and sell it.
