Time to Water?

Watering #2 Green
With almost no moisture for the last month along with the warmer temps we've had, we were forced to fire up the irrigation system this week.  The moisture sensors that we use during the summer months also come in handy in the middle of the winter.  With moisture readings around 5% and no rain or snow in the forecast we decided today was a good day to get some water out.

In the 12 years that I have been at WCC, I can't recall a year where we continue to mow greens in mid January.  Typically, the greens will require an occasional rolling to keep them smooth.  This year, we are still mowing (at a higher than normal height) once a week.

Crazy year so far, although I wouldn't count out a big snow before winter is officially over!
