Happy New Years! As the first post of 2014, we start with SNOW!! We had a an unofficial measurement of 5.5 inches of snow on the golf course. It is hard to get a real accurate measurement because the snow is blowing around. The snow should start to melt on Sunday and Monday with more mild temperatures and 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.
