Roll? Hmmm....maybe?

As the next heat wave comes upon us, we are taking many pro-active steps to protect the turf. As many readers of this blog know, I have a steadfast rule that when we have temperatures in the lower and mid-90 degrees or above, we stop rolling greens until it cools down. For some reason, the greens start to "thin out" when we roll them  in high temperatures. That being said, this coming Thursday's forecast calls for a day where temperatures might drop back below our threshold. If so, we roll on Thursday. Thanks for your understanding regarding this matter!

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.
