Yesterday we re-installed the fans on the 7 tee complex.
We the use fans on this tee to circulate the air because the winds and breezes are blocked by the trees to the left , the fence vines to the back, and the halfway house to the right. Without air circulation, the air stagnates and humidity builds into it, which creates an environment for disease and stress. The fans help to minimize these risks.
Unfortunately, the 7th tee complex has other problems including poor soil, small size, and shade. We have been addressing these problems with aeration, verti-quaking, extra fertilization, hand watering, and some rebuilding. With all the extra attention and the fans, through the years the tees have improved tremendously.
