The golf course is starting to really dry out. Golfers should be start seeing us water greens by hand. We do this to add water where it is needed and not where it is not. We also started to "level" the depth of the bunker sand in green side bunkers. We are hoping to finish this task today. The bunker sand will be somewhat "softer" in some spots until the sand "packs" down tighter. The sand will also be softer because it is drying out. We will also use a gas powered tamper to speed up the process of "packing" in select bunkers.
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.
