On Saturday, the course received 0.2 inches of rain. It was the first measurable rain that course had seen in 16 straight weekends! It is amazing to think it had not rained all summer on the weekends. That being said, we are looking very dry for the next 7-10 days. We are using this week to prepare for the Llanerch Cup. Good luck to all the participants!
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.
