The big problem that the rain has caused is once again delaying us from getting all the seed out in the flooded valley. This project is now months behind. We are now finally in a bit of a heat wave so things should dry up quick and if everything goes as planned we will finally get the seed in the ground beginning next week.

Irrigation in the valley is operational now
Unfortunately our irrigation system has been acting up these past two weeks. We have had a total of 6 breaks in the last two weeks now. The breaks, which is the usual case, were all saddles that had broken free from the pipe. This is a common problem for us because when the irrigation system was installed they did not use stainless steel bolts on the saddles so they are now rusting over time and breaking free.

Although we have had some problems this year, overall it has been a quite successful golf season. The golf course is now getting busier than it had been in past years and we are continuing to improve the overall conditioning of the course every day compared to the past. We will look to have a successful rest of the summer and fall and once again be in a great position to be very successful next season.
