Golf carts ARE permitted today. Green speed is 9.5 feet.
Greens will be sprayed today with ALIETTE SIGNATURE and DACONIL ULTREX to control anthracnose, dollar spot, and brown patch. Aliette is also known to improve turf quality by enhancing the plants defense mechanisms and vigour. Some foliar fertilizer will be mixed with the solution to provide some required nutrients for turf health.

| Roots from cork trees creating drought stress back of 12 green |
Yesterday the cork trees behind 12 green were root pruned to alleviate drought stress on the turf from the roots encroaching the back of 12 green. 6mm plastic vapour barrier was placed in trench before back filling to create a physical barrier to prevent the roots from immediately growing back into the area.

A reminder that next Tuesday morning July 12th greens will be topdressed.
