We have had a lot of play on the grass courts this summer along with some stressful weather. A small window of less play today and tommorow (along with some cooler temps) allows us to perform some mid season assitance to the grass courts.

Small amounts of fertilizer and growth regulator were foliar applied. This limits excessive growth while supplying nutrients that the plants are having trouble picking up with their limited summertime root systems.
Frequent, light watering (syringing) keeps the plants cool. Too much water is just as bad as too little.
Today we are "venting" the courts. "Venting" is a term being used by the USGA instead of the traditional term "aerification." This is so golfers don't get scared and think their greens will be torn up and not putt well. The venting is a non-disruptive practice that allows for better air exchange and water pentration in the root zone. We are using 1/4 inch solid tines, with holes in a 2 inch X 2 inch pattern.
