The Ugly Summer of 2010
August 7th 2010 -

The sustained record-breaking heat across much of the U.S. this summer, combined with high humidity and occasional heavy rain, is killing the greens on many golf courses. A handful of high-profile courses have already had to close, and if the heat continues, others are likely to follow. Golfers themselves deserve part of the blame for insisting that putting surfaces be mown short and fast even in weather conditions in which such practices are almost certain to ruin them.
 
Huntingdon Valley Country Club outside Philadelphia, which dates from 1897, shut two of its three nines two weeks ago because of serious turf disease caused by the hot, wet weather. The Philadelphia area in July had 17 days of 90-degree-plus weather, six more than average, mixed with flooding thunderstorms of up to 4 inches.
 
 

Weather Alert from the USGA
July 29th 2010 -
Fieldstone recently recieved this notification from the USGA and thought it may be of interest to the membership with concerns about the weather and the maintenance performed on the golf course this season.
 
WEATHER ALERT 
 

TURF LOSS ADVISORY
 

Periodically, the agronomists of the Mid-Atlantic region send letters to USGA member courses on extraordinary weather conditions and turf loss related matters.  The weather experienced the summer of 2010 has prompted this letter. 

 

Our goal is to alert golfers and turf managers alike that this extended period of heat and drought followed by heat, humidity and thunderstorms has caused and probably will continue to cause turf stress and turf loss problems throughout the region.  No two golf courses are alike.  They all have different grasses, soils and golfer expectations.  It is important that golf course superintendents use, “defensive golf course maintenance and management programs.”  That is, be conservative.  Pamper  the grass.  The turfgrass is under intense weather stress compounded by an increase in disease pressure.  Be more concerned about plant health than green speed!!!  There is an old adage in our industry, “slow grass is better than no grass.”  This is not a joke.  It needs to be taken seriously.

July 24th 2010 - The 2010 Ladies Member-Member Championship finished in exciting fashion on Saturday, July 24th as the lead changed hands after each round of the championship. The team of Ellie Lorenc and Becky Luzzi jumped out to the early lead during Friday's better ball of partners, carding a 31 to set the pace.  Their great start gave them a four shot lead, however six teams were within six shots of the lead. During Saturday's first round format (nine holes of alternate shot )  two teams made strong moves up the leaderboard as Carol Hilk and Nancy Schueck combined for a net 30 to take the lead, while Diane Gulyas and Shelly Swalley carded a 31 to move into second place.  The Gulyas-Swalley tandem stayed hot during their final nine  (scramble) equaling the low score of the third round.  After starting day two in sixth place , six shots back , the champions closed with a score of 33, which  provided them with a one shot margin of victory over the first round leaders (Lorenc-Luzzi) and the second round leaders (Hilk-Schueck).  

Congratulations Diane and Shelly!
