This week at Sunset: 7-17-2017 Sunrise @ Sunset CC This week at Sunset we’ve started off with continuing showers brought on by the heavy damp air. The temperatures have cooled off as a result, but expect it to warm up as we get closer to the weekend. For the month of July we haven’t received nearly the amount of rain we received last month. We’ve received 2.25” so far and last month at this time we were close to 6” of rain. Hopefully, we can finish out July somewhere between 4-5” of rain for the month. This week we are addressing the over abundance of goosegrass/crowfootgrass and crabgrass around the golf course. These weeds have really blown up in the past few weeks from all the rain and favorable growing conditions. Because we didn’t really have a true winter this year this has equaled to a larger breakout of these summer annual weeds.

Weather Outlook
UPDATE: All 18 are OPEN We completed the Air2G2 aerification yesterday afternoon. The process went very well even with over 2.5 inches of rain so far this week. The results will benefit the most beneath the turf with healthy roots and a more vibrant stand of turf on top. I plan to do another Air2G2 in August around our next aerification when we will be pulling cores. Along with the Air2G2, we verticutted the greens, but because of wet conditions were unable to topdress. It’s not ideal to topdress with wet sand and turf and so I plan to topdress the greens next Monday when we can hopefully have some drier conditions. As mentioned before, the 2.5 inches of rain we’ve received so far has definitely softened things up throughout the golf course. Please avoid low lying areas and places where standing water is present. Thank you and we hope you have a great rest of the week!
