To replace the divot or not replace the divot. That is the question.

The question of what to do after hitting a shot that makes a divot is a common one. I have always advised that it is better to replace the divot. The seed and divot mix is only to be used if the shot creates a "scare" with no real divot or the divot explodes in numerous pieces. In that case, the divot mix is a better choice. Also, most players would rather have their ball land on a repaired divot then on a "sand pit".

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.
