Wow! The rough is tough! The four main reasons for the thick rough are years off seeding, aerifying, managing soils fertility and the most of all....the weather. The temperatures and timely rain we experience in May push the turf to grow excessively. We are mowing the rough as fast as we can. We are also blowing the grass clipping to make it easier to find your ball. Once the June and July come along with their hotter temperatures and less rain, the rough will become more manageable.
Today marks the beginning of mobilization of equipment on # 8 for the upcoming restoration. Our golf course contractor is Total Turf and with golf course architect Brian Schneider from Renaissance Golf, they will be teaming up to open a new chapter in Llanerch's storied history.
