Golf Course Update

Yesterday we aerified fairways. We did not pull soil cores. It was just a 3/4 inch solid tine. We are rolling the fairways today and will start mowing them later this afternoon. The greens are healing from aerification at a steady rate. It is day 9 since we aerified them. It usually take between 13-18 day for them to completely heal. The weather is the big factor in determining the how long it will take. For the greens, a heavy rain would really help the process speed up. I don't see a good chance of rain in the forecast until Monday.

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.
