We will be starting our Bermuda grass sod work this week. As
of now, we are scheduled to begin work on Thursday, weather dependent.
We will be contracting this work as we have before in order
for our staff to continue their regular duties. The contractors also have the
more specialized equipment and are much faster.
Our initial goal is to replace 10,000 square feet, 1 full
truck, of Bermuda grass on holes 1, 11, 17, 18. Here
you can read our post from earlier in the year discussing some of the issues as
well as reasoning behind the areas selected for repair.
Those initial areas have already shrunk so far this season.
There is a possibility that this truck load of sod extends further than anticipated.
If that is the case, depending on the amount left, we will begin repair on
other areas, possibly on 8 or 11 or 15.
We have sand on site and ready for raising low areas, where
water sat and contributed to the Bermuda grass death. We will also aerate the
damaged areas prior to laying the new sod to help rooting and water
infiltration.
Compared to last year, this will be a minor inconvenience.
However, care will have to be taken to give this new grass a healthy start.
Thank you for your patience.
Etiquette Reminder of the Month
Please obey all signs on the course. Cart exit posts, “No
carts” signs, “Please keep off” signs, “Ground under repair” signs, and others
are there for the benefit of the turf and to help keep the course in the best
condition possible.
Also, as part of a Golf Committee initiative to improve
course etiquette, we have included links to videos teaching proper on course
etiquette. Please take a moment to watch:
See you on the course!
