U S Amateur Qualifier

Well, the U S Amateur Qualifier has just been completed at Rolling Green Golf Club and Llanerch. I believe the course held up very well. The average 18 hole score was 80. It just confirms that Llanerch is truly a tough test of golf. The course had green speeds just around 11.5 feet before the rain.
I have had many people ask "who picks the pin placements"? For this tournament, as is with every other GAP sponsored event, it is done by the GAP officials. I do review them but they do such a good job, we rarely have to make adjustments. I would also like to thank all the participants for their kind compliments. We really appreciate it.

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.
