Last week we removed all the overgrown privet hedges surrounding the 17th tee. They were preventing good air movement and sunlight on the tee surface. Without those two elements, it becomes much more difficult to grow grass, especially from divots. We will be replant some small hedges to secure safety from 10 fairway. In this picture, you can see we sodded some of the area already. We will finish sodding it once the hedges are planted in the late winter and early summer.
Another day without rain. That has been the story for the last 2 weeks. We have been working hard to keep the course with just enough water to keep the plants alive and still be firm and fast. You will also notice that we are no longer mowing the intermediate cut around fairways. With the planned addition of 3 to 4 acres of fairway, it was deemed unnecessary to keep it. If you have any questions regarding the renovation, please feel free to contact me at your convenience. Thank you and see you on the course!
