Dragging dew off fairways. Every Saturday and Sunday this is done to aid ball roll in the fairways for the early morning groups. We also do this on fairway spray days to help the chemicals dry better before the early play.

A new footbridge has been installed on 18 to replace the one lost to the flood. The mat from the old bridge is wrapped around a bridge piling on 18 and debris. We will try to recover and hopefully reuse the mat on the new bridge.

The dead spots on 10 fairway(today ,2, 3, and 11 fw) were spiked, seeded, and the seed wheel tracked with the tires of the sand pro. Spots in a few fairways died from being saturated for most of 2 weeks. Other fairways are having spots seeded today and more next week.

Amazing! After all that rain the greens need water. 18 is our target for hand watering dry spots in the morning and running the overheads at night.

More rain this morning. Booo. If the fall weather pattern is anything like the last several years, we will be begging for rain in a month or so.

A certain HOF QB used to play here a few times a year as well as other Colts players still do, and a HOF kicker until recently played a few times a year as well. Pacers players, Indy Car drivers, etc. None of them ever pressure the pro shop staff for special treatment.

Another almost 1.5" last night. 11.75 inches for the month so far. Grass is dying where the water has been sitting. We were able to get most of the course mowed the last 2 days. Skipped some spots and damaged some spots. Got the scheduled fungicide and growth regulator aps on fairways, tees, and approaches the last 2 days so we are good as far as dollar spot breakthrough goes. Mowing height on greens has been raised .020 to help with the added stress and the greens were topdressed Monday.

Another 1 inch between 8am and 8:45.

2 foot bridges gone. Found the new one from 15 in the woods across the bridge from the red Tee on 15. The one on 18 is either in the woods or in Morse Lake. The traction mat is wrapped around a bridge piling on 18.
