The greens were rebuilt after the 2009 AT&T National and some of us questioned rebuilding greens so close to a national championship, but the USGA gave the thumb's up and by all accounts, the grass has been doing fine. But this weather forecast--record highs possible the next two days--is going to test superintendent Mike Giuffre and staff.
Giuffre talks to GCSAA TV about the benefits of the SubAir system in the greens that will surely be put to use the next few days, but technology can only do so much for bent grass greens in 100 degree heat when cut at 1/8 of an inch.
