After finishing topdressing all the greens and approaches yesterday, we turned our attention to the fairways. We are physically brooming the fairways to have the grass "stand up". Once we complete the brooming, we mow the fairways. This makes for a cleaner cut and smoother surface. We are hoping to broom half the fairways today and the rest tomorrow before the rain.
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.
