@JeremyWGR glad to hear Beane go on the offense with you guys this morning. He was right on all points and you guys need to be checked. Criticism goes both ways.

Fall cultural practices. Including double slit seeding with rye and chewings fescue. An essential part to the overall process and one of the reasons the tees and fairways have seen an improvement in playability and presentation.
Getting ready for the Women’s Intercollegiate event starting on Friday. It’s all about the details and the staff are crushing it along with some help from Graeme Cherry who painted the logo on 18 fairway.
Course update. Cleanup is ongoing from debris left by the last storm event. Our YTD rainfall total up to 11.67”. Saturated conditions so no carts for the foreseeable future. – at West Menlo Park, CA

TurfRad data on soil moisture in the fairways. Next level technology that will only make us better

Why Do Golf Courses Aerate Putting Greens? We are getting to that time of year. usga.org/content/usga/home-p…
Cultural practices- the foundation of quality and consistent playing surfaces. We started fairway and rough slicing this morning and we should be wrapped up in a couple of days. Essential process during the season to continue downward movement of air and water. – at Stanford, CA
The start of fairway topdressing week. More cultural practices to improve playability and soil structure
More wind and rain over the last 24 hours. 2.65” of rain bringing our season total up to 31.71”. The course has some standing water and branches that need to be cleaned up. – at West Menlo Park, CA

Several trees down on the course. Lots of cleanup over the next several days and we will be concentrating on clearing the main playing surfaces and paths.

In a continued effort to make improvements in the immediate areas around the greens, we are leveling and re sodding areas. This will improve the playability and presentation of the collars around the greens.
We had a total of 7 trees come down around the course over the last 4 days. The rainfall total is now up to 22” for the season and thankfully we have a good stretch of no rain in the forecast. Fingers crossed we can get fairway mowers out Friday. – at Palo Alto, CA

First time mowing fairways in 9 days. So far our rainfall total is 14.57” for the season. The entirety of last season was 14.22” so we have surpassed that. The 10 day forecast starting tomorrow has 10 days of rain. Enjoy the course while you can!
