The 18th Restoration is moving along quickly. With all this unseasonably warm weather, the grass has started to grow roots and "fill in". We have been spreading sand and rolling the green and new fairway to continue smoothing out the surface. We have already mowed the green over 15 times! More sod will be installed on the right side of the rough next week.
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.
