Happy New Year!

Welcome to the first post of 2014 with many more to follow so that we can educate you on the practices and principals of turf grass management. We always encourage you to follow along and enjoy the pictures of the golf courses road to maturity and improvement. With that being said we are back on the sand train and its moving very well.  Today we have finished #17 and currently on #11 adding sand while the the other team is busy constructing the bunkers on #10. The staff has been busy working in the fairway top dressing, prepping areas for sod repair and we have even started to mulch beds during the frosty part of the morning. As I am typing this we are unloading a sod truck so check back on the completion of that very soon.

Today we closed the greens and moved to temporary cups into the fairway where they will remain until March 1st weather permitting. 

The bare area will be a new fairway extension on #15 in
front of the green complex. 

Same area but looking towards the 15th green, please note
that the new fairway edge will be smoother than what you
see in the photo.
