HUMIDITY!

If you are heading out today or have already arrived home from being outside, you probably will break or have already broken a good sweat. It is humidity! As I discussed in an earlier post, humidity is a cause of slower greens speeds. Just as we break a quick sweat from the humidity, so will the grass. With the high humidity, it makes it difficult for the grass to transpire, with the lack of transpiration comes a swelled leaf blade. This swelling is what causes the slower green speeds. Hopefully the humidity will break for us over the weekend, but until then, we will continue doing everything we can to keep green speeds on target.
