What happened?

After a spring and summer of what felt like it rained every other day, we have run straight into a mini drought. We have no significant rain in over 21 days. The dry has great for the bent grass on greens,tees and fairways. It is a little bit tough on some areas in the rough. We are are spending most of our time hand watering in these localized dry spots. The trees are doing all they can too to get any water. That is why you see some brown grass at the base of the trees. If the forecast is right, it looks like Sunday and Monday will be the first chance for rain. We are keeping our fingers crossed!

Sod, Sod, Sod

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.

With the help of architects Brian and Blake, we are now seeing what the new bunkers look like. This one is on 10 green right side. They will not have the fescue "eyebrow" we have had in the past. For more updates, please follow me @BrendanJByrne01 on Twitter.
