The contractor is almost done building the new cart path on #18. They completed the extension of the cart path on the right side of #9 yesterday. They will be adding a new cart path on the left side of #5 green by the end of the week. We, on the other hand, are mow greens, fairways, rough and doing divots on par 3 tees. The plan for next week is start sodding the construction wounds in the rough on 18 while continuing to prep the course for play.
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.
