Last week we dusted off the old canoe and installed two subsurface bubblers in # 8 pond. The are designed to increase the amount of oxygen in the water column. It directly reduces algae build up and helps the fish breath better. Our plan is to install 2 more in #18 pond next year. As for the soil piles behind the pond, they need a few more months to dry out before we can reshape the area.
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.
