Welcome to the grounds blog for Calumet Country Club, the source of information related to the maintenance and improvement of the golf course. Check here often throughout the year to learn about the work we do to provide the membership with the best possible golf conditions, look at interesting pictures from the course, get updates on the upcoming and ongoing projects, and get information about course conditions.

So far so good

Even with the air temperature at a sweltering 98.4 degrees, the course is holding up quite well.  To keep the chances of promoting disease to a minimum, we have been very conservative with our irrigation.  Yesterday afternoon the fairways and greens got a little crispy, but after some much needed irrigation late last night and early this morning they are holding up to this heat very well.  With the humidity being so high this water should last us a few days.  We will continue to be diligent with our watering and monitoring of the turf and hopefully apart from some burned up rough areas, come out of this heat wave unscathed.
