Course Update

Last Friday we were able to replace the sod on the 18th green side intermediate. We harvested this from the teaching green and will do the same to #4 green side intermediate. Eventually we will have a few trucks of sod delivered and we will be working on the bermuda patches in the rough. Then there was rain again this past weekend, I cannot complain but when we get this much and and you start to see low lying areas becoming thin, it begins to be a problem. What we are seeing on #14 is one of the worst out on the course, I have always been planning to put drainage in this approach and this will be first on our list as we approach the winter, most of the water is coming from the tree line on the right and pools at the bottom of the approach, not good when we had 90 plus degree days last week. In the mean time we aerified and top dressed this area to help dry out and recover.
