Well Since Everyone Is Talking Weather, Stats for Feb/March/April

I've been so busy inside the building, I don't even recall seeing the stats below 

for February on the news. Mind blowing.. Wettest in April is not what we want to hear 

but also this trend on warmth is not good. Wet and hot can be deadly for old greens

with natural drainage only. I know some wondered about a 2nd aeration. Rainfall

and heat are the reasons why we pound our greens with aeration equipment and sand 

in the spring!
