Lower driving range tee complete

We have finally finished all aspects of the new lower driving range tee. While it will take a little time to mature, it is now open and ready for lessons.

Our last step was to put the new hitting mat on, and we accomplished that last week. You can follow our previous progress in posts here and here. The mat was like a big puzzle, but we used a couple of frost mornings to lay it all out and fit it together. 2 or 3 tries later and we had it just right. A quick stamp of approval from the Professional staff and we locked it in place.

The turf will still need to heal more before it is a perfect hitting surface. However, it is rooted in enough now to be used gently. Likewise, the new trees we planted as a screen are still young. But over time they will mature and provide a good block for errant shots as well as a hedge to block the view of the maintenance shop.

Hopefully, golf continues to be a new escape for so many people and the new tee gets all the use it deserves.
