Wet bunker sand can be tough to play out of, and some bunkers seem to stay wetter than others. Let’s look at why that happens, and what courses can (and can’t) do about it 👇
If you see someone from the maintenance staff hand watering the green you're playing to, try to be patient and understand that they're working hard to help the greens get through tough summer weather 👇
Extremely hot and humid weather has many golf courses under serious stress right now. You may notice some temporary changes in playing conditions as superintendents adjust maintenance to help the grass stay as healthy as possible 👇
THE BEST ADVICE FOR...
New greens, accept it will take two to three years for a bentgrass surface to mature.
DO NOT rush to open & pressure your super to chase green speeds -- forget 12 ft the first year.
Making a smooth surface -- light frequent sand topdress before mowing low.
Converting playing surfaces to grasses that use less water or tolerate drought better can help conserve resources and improve playing conditions, but successful turf conversion requires investment and patience 👇
A quick transition from a cool and rainy spring to hot summer weather means many courses in the Northeast have weaker turf than they’d like. Exercising caution now will help courses stay in good shape through the months ahead 👇
