Drought


I took this picture to illustrate just how dry things have gotten this year. This is the transition from green to collar on 5 Gray Hawk. This will seal back up as the soils warm and are able to take up moisture, but this is something I haven't seen in my time as a superintendent. We tank watered the greens last week to keep the crowns and leaves of the plant from desiccating and if we miss out on the moisture predicted over the next week we will be out watering again soon. Unfortunately we don't have the ability to water much more than the greens. I hope this winter weather isn't a foreshadowing of what the growing season has in store for us.
