The 18th green restoration starts today. We will start with the removal of a few trees, delivery of construction materials and removal of sod. I plan to include photographic updates as the project proceeds. Of course the forecast rain for Wednesday will delay some of the construction. It would not be the 2011 golf season without some rain.
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.
