Dog Days of Summer - You Aren't Kidding

Here are just a few stats regarding the temperatures of June and July.


The National Weather Service reported that Louisville experienced the hottest June on record. The average temperature was 6.9 degrees above normal. The previous record for June was set in 1952.

Believe it or not, July came in as the third hottest since the record in 1901. Typically we experience eleven days of 90 degree or warmer weather but this past July the temperature surpassed that by more than double.

There is no doubt that this summer will be one of the hottest that Mother Nature has thrown our way in some time. However, I am happy to report that other than a few trying areas, our golf course is standing up to the stress very well.
