The tropical storm that came a few weeks ago created some disease damage to the rough. We have used the last 14 days to slit seed the rough with tall fescue and bluegrass seed. Some of the seed has germinated and we are hoping to see more germination with in the next few weeks. You will also notice that we are using divot mix in the rough on a few hole to "jump start" the seed. As for #9, I am meeting with the golf course architect Stephen Kay today to review the progress of the project. We have to bring in and shape roughly 30 more tri-axles of soil to get the shape that Mr. Kay has designed.
Today marks the beginning of mobilization of equipment on # 8 for the upcoming restoration. Our golf course contractor is Total Turf and with golf course architect Brian Schneider from Renaissance Golf, they will be teaming up to open a new chapter in Llanerch's storied history.
