Rough is Thick!

The much needed rain has really got everything growing!  We see the following trend most years.

Spring- Rain and ideal temperatures cause a surge in growth.  The rough thickens.

Summer- Little rain, golf cart traffic, and hot temperatures.  Rough will thin out.

Fall- Rain and cooler temperatures allows the grass to recover from Summer.  The rough thickens.

Winter-  Grass is dormant and not growing.  Golf cart traffic beats down the turf and becomes thin.

We are now mowing rough every opportunity possible.  As we move towards July you should see a slow down in growth.  The grass that we have now will allow us to get through the hot summer months.
