Today, we are fighting the wind. We have had sustained winds of 26mph and gusts as high as 37mph! As any one who has played the course in the last few days could tell you, the course is playing firm and fast! Some rain any time from Mother Nature would be very much appreciated. Today, we are edging out some over grown bunkers on 6 green complex, watering sod, removing small dots of poa annua on 3 green and laying sod on the old cart path on #5.
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.
