Finally some rain and warmth, but cold returns

 

It has been a while since we could prepare for a significant amount of rain. Joe punched some holes in the upper range tee Monday and put down some more ryegrass and compost to see if we can jump start this area.

Even though the wind was blowing 40mph on Monday the bermuda fairways enjoyed the 80 degree weather. The non-overseeded vamont on the Sabot front nine is greening up faster than the Latitude thanks to the lack of traffic. 

This week we started composting all the turf on the Sabot besides the back nine fairways. With fertilizer and fuel prices off the charts, we'll be using certified organic compost to keep the turf moving this year.

The irrigation crew is working past 5 tees and over to 4 tees. 

Passing the new black tee on 5 Sabot. The wiring for our new stream recirculation pump is also in this trench headed to the bathroom for final hookup.

4 green misses having golfers come visit!

The new greens are down to .160" compared to the back nine height of .120". They are looking great!

Our stump grinder contractor was out for the last time on Tuesday. We are busy cleaning up behind him and getting ready for some sod next week.

The last bit of sod was removed from over here on #1 Sabot. Ben hauled in some soil and softened up these old grass bunkers so that carts can exit across their entire width now.

Left of the cartpath on 2 Sabot was regraded some and prepped for new tall fescue sod. With two new sprinklers over here we should be able to supply your pull hook with a decent lie now.

Bunker depth checking continues on both sides while we wait for some grass to mow!
