Summer and the heat is finally hear and the management staff is out and about looking for signs of stress or areas to cool down. With that said please be on the look out for them checking greens in particular, they will try to avoid your round but at times they will have to sneak in and check or water the greens. Please allow them the time to do that if you see that, the process doesn't take long and we will be on our way after that.
Yesterday we finished the last phase at the practice facility and this will complete the rest of the targets. This is the same grass as used for the lower tee and will contrast very nicely for you to hit at.
prepping for sod removal
The hill was brought down and angled toward the tee
With the help of the practice facility being closed today we were able to grass the lower portion of the tee with great success. Our sod came in on big rolls which allowed for a smooth process during this project. With a few rolls extra we decided to add some targets out on the range around the new fairway markers. This looks so much better and something to aim at, they look so good that we will look at doing the other four so that everything matches in the future.
I did some side by side comparison and it is very hard to tell the difference from the untrained eye. Never the less this will be a great addition to the golf course practice facility.

This is an example of the comparison I was talking about.
The samples are surrounded by rough grass, can you tell
which is the bermuda and which one is the bent grass?
