The Practice Range Tee is Complete

With the help of the practice facility being closed today we were able to grass the lower portion of the tee with great success. Our sod came in on big rolls which allowed for a smooth process during this project. With a few rolls extra we decided to add some targets out on the range around the new fairway markers. This looks so much better and something to aim at, they look so good that we will look at doing the other four so that everything matches in the future.

I did some side by side comparison and it is very hard to tell the difference from the untrained eye. Never the less this will be a great addition to the golf course practice facility.

This is an example of the comparison I was talking about.
The samples are surrounded by rough grass, can you tell
which is the bermuda and which one is the bent grass?
