Tough Rough

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.

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.
