Rough Update

The rough on #7 and #8 is filling in quite well, actually #8 is performing better because I does not stay as wet  as the left side of the fairway as on #7. Next week we will start the sodding process on these holes, such as traffic areas and really just cleaning up any unwanted grasses. So look for hole like areas in the rough until we order a truck for the end of next week. 
#8 
One thing that we are doing on the fairway edge is removing the first 4 inches and making a seed and soil mix to re-establish the edge, this will give us that crisp defined edge between the fairway and the intermediate. It started as a trial which turned out great. We will continue this next week on #8 along with our second phase of bringing in rough sod for the golf course.

Notice the edge, much more defined (#7).
