I don't think I have ever seen this much grass on the courses in August ever before.  To actually see scalping happening Is certainly a first in August.  It comes in pretty handy though with the amount of play we are having given the excellent weather this week with another 500 plus day today by the looks of it.  You certainly need to have good turf to be able to survive the cart and golf traffic.  It's a good problem to have and not one that I thought we would see this year given how wet we were earlier.

The irrigation installation continued this week with a large main line being laid on 15R And part of the fairway being installed.  15R will obviously continue next week and we then move to 16R.  Next week we will be doing some exploratory digging to find some of the services on 13, 14 and 16W as the following week we will be installing a new power supply from near 16W tee all the way to the pump shed.  This will be quite a major excavation and play on all three holes will be affected that week.  The weather forecast for the next couple of weeks is apparently quite good so hopefully the courses may dry out enough for us to actually start using the new system once again.
