Today it is raining. We haven't been able to say that very much this summer, but with Tropical Storm Faye making her slow way past, we are enjoying several solid days of much needed rain.
Water conservation has been all over the news lately. Droughts all over the southeast have led to quite a bit of press coverage. Although less serious here than in other parts of the south, it has been dry in the mountains this summer. All are being asked to tighten the metaphorical belt. Seven Falls is blessed to have a golf course superintendent who is able to manage conditions better than anybody in the business.
Joe Baidy, past president of the Golf Course Superintendents of America, knows more about growing grass than any other human being I've ever met. His knowledge has helped Seven Falls dramatically during this dry summer as we have been able to utilize a small fraction of the surface water that we are permitted to draw. This is a direct result of his knowledge of drought resistant hybrids, wetting agents, and targeted watering practices.
Seven Falls is committed to natural resource management and believe that every challenge presented is an opportunity to improve our performance and efficiency. Through the intelligent deployment of technology and proper planning, we believe that sustainable growth is an achievable goal.
