We are only a week from when the greens were aerified and they are healing very nicely. Last week we planned to start deep tining the fairways and ran into a broken part on the machine, this delayed us until this week. Our goal is to have 9 holes completed this week.

We are embarking on the rough this time of year, this will include some spot seeding and sodding but the most dramatic part will be the sod removal of the intermediates. With the amount of disease pressure we get in the rye grass (this is the majority of the intermediate grass) we are converting this over to tall fescue. Tall fescue has become more adapted at low mowing heights, has less disease pressure and uses less water. Another great aspect of this project is that it will allow us to define our fairway borders, this is just another detailed item that will improve the look of the golf course. Our current areas that we will do first will be #2 and #5, they will be sodded this Wednesday.

An example on #3 green that has already been through a season,
the tall fescue did great. |
