Just when I thought the course was starting to dry out, we were hit by over 1.1 inches of rain this morning. The rain only lasted roughly 45 minutes but did leave some wet conditions. The staff has just started to fix the sand in some bunkers that were washed out by the rain. We should have the bunkers in great shape by tomorrow morning. As you can expect, we have to restrict carts from the course today.
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.
