Working in this industry, you learn early that Mother Nature often dictates what you do and what you don't do. Yesterday we were unable to verticut and topdress greens due to the impending heat and humidity. Both practices can be stressful to the plants when conducted at the improper time.
Instead, I opted to apply preventative fungicide applications to greens, tees and fairways. The turf is extremely healthy and the rooting has never been better for this time of year. I think they're going to hold up pretty well in the forecasted heat.
As a turf manager my goal is to put the plants in the best position to withstand the stresses that Mother Nature throws at it.
