Next week will have some unusually warm temperatures. This is a great opportunity for us to start aerifying. We plan to aerify greens on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The course will be open for play on Tuesday and Wednesday but closed on Monday. We plan to fill the aerification holes with sand and roll them so they are smooth for play. The aerification holes will be medium in size. Normally, the greens take 10-17 days to completely heal, depending on the weather. Thanks for your patience.
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.
