The 18th green restoration is moving forward. We plan to open the hole on Saturday the 14th. The green has grown in well but is still putting a little slower compared to the other greens. We will be working all next week to get the green to "speed up" some more. As for the fairway and approach, the grass is ready for play. The rough needed some sod in the weaker areas. There might be some "uneven" lies when comparing the established rough to the sod. As the season progresses, we will try to grow a more "consistent" play surface. I appreciate everyone's patience as we complete this project. Happy Easter to everyone and their families.
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.
