Last week saw some incredible amounts of rain in the area. We missed a good deal of it but still are a bit wet today. With the forecast set for even more rain, we felt it was a good time to topdress sand on the greens and approaches. As you can see in the above picture, we are only using a light amount. This will help to give the greens more firmness and ensure a smooth roll.
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.
