The Open at St. Andrews



I have been asked lately why some areas of the course are burning up. There is an easy answer to this question. We do not have irrigated rough. And so when the temps rise on a hot and sunny day some areas will tend to get a little "hot". Also we do not fertilize any of the rough either. Being a links style course we try to maintain everything to roll and run. The rough can be thick in spots where it does receive irrigation. But for the most part there is a lot of hard pan.




I read an interesting article that I have attached to this blog about the definition of links golf. Found it to very interesting and I would hope you will take a look at it. And for those who have golfed wildflower, keep the course in mind while reading this article.
