The course is recovering from both 2 inches of rain and aerification. We were able to mow greens, rough and tees today. The fairways are still too wet for mowers. We fertilized some of the greens that seemed to be filling in a little slower than the others. I am still hoping that the greens are 85%-95% healed by the weekend. In the past, the greens have healed in 13-16 days from aerification.
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.
