An update regarding the stress of pushing for playing conditions during periods of extreme weather (ex. Scheduling two premier multi-day tournaments two weeks apart in July/August).
Our fifth hole is a prime example of the poor growing environment they refer to, and as of today is really showing signs of stress. It will take weeks for the fairway and green to recover from the heat, drought, and intense maintenance.
