14. What challenges do you face maintaining the California greens at NV? Our biggest challenge with the greens here is moisture control. The course is wide open which is great for turf health, but the California greens dry out quickly and can be tough to keep up with on hot summer days. Soil temperatures are also a problem because the greens soil temps fluctuate quickly with the air temperature making it tough to get aeration holes to fill in at times. 15. List four things we don't know about you? 1. I’ve worked at seven golf courses. 2. I drove a moped to work until I was old enough to get a driver’s license. 3. I am a licensed charter boat captain. 4. I hate spiders.
