Winter Cleanup

After a long and snowy winter, we can once again start to begin our annual winter cleanup of the course. This winter was very destructive to many of the trees, especially our white pine trees. The wet snow became too heavy for the branches and made them split right off the trunk. We are in the process of removing them and rake up the remaining pine needles. We will also be mulching up any remaining leaves from the fall once the course drys out.

I am hoping the snow will continue to disappear over the next few day. We will look to get the course open as soon as the ground drains out.

Sod, Sod, Sod

Starting yesterday, the construction crew began sodding the 18th green complex. They have installed bentgrass for the fairway extensions, low cut bluegrass for the intermediate cut and turf type tall fescue for the rough. They also installed some fine fescue on the bunker edges. We plan to finish sodding by tonight but might need to purchase a small quantity more next week to fix some construction wounds. 
With the help of architects Brian and Blake, we are now seeing what the new bunkers look like. This one is on 10 green right side. They will not have the fescue "eyebrow" we have had in the past. For more updates, please follow me @BrendanJByrne01 on Twitter.
