Will It Ever Stop?

As you have felt we have been experiencing some extreme HEAT!   For myself it has been ruff thinking thinking that it is only July!  When you have heat in August you can almost feel and see a light at the end of the tunnel.  We are handling the heat OK,  We have been pulling hose and hand watering greens from 6:00 am till 6-8 pm to keep them at surface temperatures below 99 degrees.  We measure a few things every day in different ways.  We use laser guns to see the surface temps.  We use soil moisture meters to keep the soil at 12-18%.  We are pulling small cores out of the greens to see how the soil is holding water.  This week we used Cross Tines and punched greens to help get old moist water out of the soil and new water in.  We used a cross tine to get the results of the half inch tine but only get the hole of a quarter inch tine.
