With the unseasonably warm weather, we mowed fairways yesterday and today. We also rolled the greens in preparation for their first mow of the season tomorrow. With all this continuing warm weather, we will start cutting the tees and approaches to greens next week. This is about 14-20 days ahead of last year.
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.
