The 18th Project was suspended on Tuesday because of rain. The contractors will start up again today despite the muddy conditions. We plan to strip the sod around the bunkers and start lowering the right side in preparation of the new fairway. The rain has moved the schedule back a day but we will continue to work on Saturday to try to catch up.
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.
