Last week, before the ever present rains, we spent the day spreading sand on fairways. This helps with drainage and smooths the surface. With more rain in the forecast, we are aerifying tees and select approaches. The staff will than spread more sand on those areas for the same reason. We are hoping to finish by later tomorrow.
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.
