I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season. 2014 was a good season for the golf course but now we must move on to 2015. We will be starting out by saying "goodbye" to horticulturalist Dan Bangert. Dan left to supervise a commercial property. We are both very happy for him but sorry to see him leave. I am sure he will do well! We are in the process of looking for a new horticulturist right now.
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.
