With great pleasure we have begun the sodding process in the rough. Like I stated before we opted to start on #3 and continue to let holes #1 and #2 grow in. The first truck pretty much ended up on #3 while the second and third trucks will most likely go to #4. There will be very little sod work being performed on #5 as most of this hole has been seeded along with #6. Our goal is to maximize as much as possible the allotted sod trucks that we will have delivered. I only wish that we could do more but in time we will reach out to every part of the rough. And to top all of this off we received close to two inches of rain that washed out all of the bunkers this week. In an effort to maximize our time we split up the staff for sod prep and bunker repair. The only down side is we are just mowing greens this week. We will do a complete mow out of the course on Monday so we can get back on track.

On Monday we will have a company out to use a ground penetrating radar system that will gives us more insight on our greens. This company will map our drainage system, locate all of the buried clean outs and give us a 3D image of how the drainage system and sand profile is operating. We have had numerous challenges on a couple of our greens such as #3. In the photo you can see where the water is not draining properly hence the thin area. This could lead to finding inadequate drainage lines and or compromised lines as well. At times as-builts (as construction was taking place) can some times change with recording what actually happened. This will give the club accurate records of what is actually in the ground.
