Most recently there has been great progress on the greens expansion and finishing up the fairway bunker sod. Yesterday we laid sod on the right side of the hole near the green and another truck was delivered this morning to finish the fairway expansion. The greens mix is in and being worked to achieve the desired grade and the next step is to re-install the irrigation loop and grade the rough around the green in preparation for sod. On Friday we would like to lay the new green expansion sod and this will be harvested from the teaching green. We do plan to have this open this Saturday with a lot of ground under repair, this will be painted for your convenience.
Overall the course is becoming more detailed with regular mowing and mulching beds. Once these construction projects come to a close we will refocus and finish our regular season prep. The greens are not growing because of the cold temperatures that we have and they are still sandy, with that being said when we roll it tends to be abusive and mashes the sand into the plant giving it a brownish color. What we will do is lay off the rolling until the temperatures warm up and then we can grow through the sand.
