Over the past few months our maintenance staff has continued working on turf improvement projects that we face every year in the summer months. Even though it has been a cool July and August to date, the lack of winter and spring rain has created additional challenges this year. With the lack of early season rainfall to flush the salts below the turfgrass root zone, the turf has accumulated an excessive amount of salt build up which inhibits the turfgrass getting adequate water to maintain it's health ( salt holds 50 times it's own weight in water ). With the lack of rainfall and a cool summer the warm season grasses have not had optimal conditions for substantial growth. We will continue with our sodding program to improve turf conditions until we begin to prepare for the fall overseeding.
