To Replace or not to Replace ...That is the question.

Over my 32 years greenkeeping, I have been asked 100s of times "what is the best? Replace the divot or use divot mix"? It is easy to decide!

 1.) When the divot is a decent size and/or one or two solid pelt(s), please replace it.
 2.) If the divot is "shredded" or ripped apart into tiny pieces, use divot mix.

But either way, I would ask that you do one or the other. To do nothing results in a potential terrible lie for someone else and could risk the area to the encroachment of poa annua.

Thanks for helping!

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.
