As of today, we still have standing water on at least 6 greens. They are very soft and not capable of holding up to foot traffic. It seems the top 4-6 inches has un-thawed but the frost below it is just staring to thaw. This is pushing water to the surface of the greens. I have no choice but to keep the course closed until the greens completely dry out. Thanks for your patience.
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.
