I don't nee tell anyone that the weather is just terrible. The course got 3.25 inches of rain from yesterday afternoon until this morning! The course was flooded in many spot around 6am today but is starting to drain with the short lull in rain we are experiencing now. We will open for walking only today once the greens have no standing water. I would also like to extend a Happy Thanksgiving to all the members of Llanerch and all the other readers of this blog.
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.
