Turf Improvements

 

You may have noticed some sod going down on Thursday afternoon and basically we are replacing old  fine fescue sod with Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Fescue sod.  These areas were sodded to fescue years ago and were left to grow naturally and since, we have started to maintain them.  The fescue is very susceptible to certain fungus and cannot tolerate traffic so we felt it was wise to remove it.  We did this on the mound on 8, the tee banks on 15 and 17 and the rear of the ladies tee on 5.  We also removed all the cattails on the pond bank left of 7 green and replaced with KBG sod.  This opens up the view of the pond as you approach the green instead of the wall of cattails that overtook the entire area.  Small changes that many of you may not notice but go a long way in improving the overall appearance of the course.
