The weather is turning rather cold and wet today. It has postponed our ability to clean up the remaining leaves. The staff has moved their efforts towards the clubhouse. They will spend the next few day removing flowers, trees and shrubs from the perimeter of the building. We also had to cut the Boston Ivy that grew on the clubhouse side of 18 because of the renovations. We will replant the ivy after the clubhouse construction is complete.
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.
