Golf Course Update

The over the last two weeks the staff has concentrated on checking sand depth on all green side and a majority of the fairway bunkers. We shoot to have 5 inches of sand throughout the bunkers. When you play, you will notice they are a little "softer". That is because when we relocate the shifting sand to the proper places, the sand becomes "loose". The softness is also a result of not having any substantial rain for over 2 weeks. The staff has also been chasing down leaves on the play surfaces. We will be rolling greens today to provide a smoother surface for the rest of the week.

PLEASE fix ball marks on greens. The last few weeks has seen an unexpected increase in unfixed ball marks. The grass is almost dormant and needs your help in healing from ball marks. Unfixed ball marks increase the emergence of poa annua. Thanks for your understanding.

I want to wish you and your families a Happy Thanksgiving.

Sod, Sod, Sod

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. 
With the help of architects Brian and Blake, we are now seeing what the new bunkers look like. This one is on 10 green right side. They will not have the fescue "eyebrow" we have had in the past. For more updates, please follow me @BrendanJByrne01 on Twitter.
