After taking the cover off for a few days, we started to mow #9 green. With the exception of a few very small spots, the green is growing in well. Later this month, it will start being treated just like all the other greens to prepare it for play. We plan to open it sometime in April. 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.
