Hot and Humid!

Hello everyone! This is the first post of many to educate and inform Bellevue Country Club members of course conditions and happenings. 

The recent hot humid weather causes major problems on the golf course turf if we are not prepared.  Certain chemicals need to be applied well ahead of time to ward off any disease associated with the hot humid weather.  The diseases we experience this time of year and in this weather can be devastating if we are not prepared.  Currently, our turf is performing very nicely given the weather.  The brown spots in the fairways are in fact just dry spots, we would rather keep the turf on the dry side to not only improve playability but to aid in the health of the grass as well. 

Please check back in regularly as we will keep this blog as current as we can.
