The heat rolls on!  This July has to be one of the hottest in recorded history, I don’t think we have had more than one day where the temperature dropped below 80 degrees or one night where the temperature dropped below 60 degrees.  Thunderstorm activity starting on July 10th has dumped over 3 inches of rain at Taconic in the past 10 days alleviating the drought situation for the time being.  The most recent storm on July 17 made a mess of the course.  I believe this is the fourth such event like that this season.  It’s almost like spring clean-up 5 times in one season!  We still have another day or so to finish cleaning up all of the branches and debris from that storm, and this is after the removal of some 2.000+ trees over the last 10 years!
