Windy days has produce some minor clean up that we are performing on the golf course today. We will be transition to adding irrigation to the area between 11 tee and 13 green in the rough later this week. The area has always been a very dry spot and the addition of some irrigation heads should go a long way to improving the grass' density. We also pulled up the greens cover on 9 green and were pleasantly surprised at the amount of growth on the putting surface. We will be removing the cover within the next few weeks to begin preparing it for play in the spring.
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.
