Fall Projects

Well in has been awhile since my last post but we have been busy trying to make some improvements.  Here is what we have been up to:

Resodding the #16 Green Complex

We first removed all the old sod and excess sand that has accumulated on the bunker bank followed by adding some fresh topsoil and fertilizer.  The new sod is then installed.  It generally takes a few weeks during cold weather for the new sod to reroot.  Resodding of #16 green banks generally happens about every 3 years as the sand from bunker shots weakens the turf.

Renovating the #16 Tee Box

We are in the middle of renovating the #16 tee box.  We are reshaping the back portion of the tee and expanding the back portion.  This will gain us about 10 yards of added tee space once the project in finished.

Reshaping of the back portion of the existing tee box.

We have completed the rough shaping and additional irrigation.  This week the sand mix will be installed followed by the laser leveling of the tee.  Due to the late start of the project, we will be sodding the tee box either this fall or earlier next spring (weather dependent).  The new tee box will be open by the 1st event of next season in May.
