Yesterday, the manufactures of the keystone green wall, that was install on 18, painted it green. This was done to "soften" the look of the wall until the plants grow in. Dan, Llanerch's horticulturist, planted all the flowers and ground cover inside the wall yesterday. Due to the fact it is almost winter, the plants can't grow until next spring and summer. That being said, we are very excited when the "vertical garden" is completely grown in in the near future!
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.
