A lot was accomplished this week on the front nine greens. All the greens that needed new sod were planted on Wednesday. On Thursday, the crew returned to #1, 2 and 4 greens to tie-in new sod edges to the same plane as the existing turf on the greens. Later in the day, greens #1,2 and 3 were heavily topdressed to float out the surface. On Friday, sod edges on #8 green were tied-in and the green was heavily topdressed. Greens #1-9 were fertilized and watered-in. Now, we need to let the grass have time to put down roots and start to grow. The first mowing is planned for next Monday.
Exploratory drainage work was started on the left side of #10 below the green. The drainage exit line that carries water from the green appears to be clogged with soil and water is backed-up in the pipe. Investigative work will continue through the weekend.
A small crew has started cutting out dead turf areas on the back nine greens in preparation for a Tuesday delivery of bentgrass sod. The crew will continue to prep areas on the back nine greens over the weekend and on Monday.
That's it for now- have a great weekend!
