As you play the course (especially 9, 10 and 18) or use the old putting green, you might notice "loose bark" on the ground. This material is truly just that.. "bark". The bark comes from the Sycamore trees. They shed because the bark is brittle in nature and rapid growth of the tree. They will shed bark from late June until late November! We rake up the bark every few days. The issue is the bark sheds almost every day and all day long! We will continue to do our best to keep the play free of bark as best we can.
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.
