Sodding at Driveway Entrance

This project was budgeted for July, but we were able to go head and do it now. The small strip of fescue lawn between the entrance driveway and cart path to #1 tee. This turf has not done well, even with irrigation, because it just gets to hot from heat reflected by all the hard surface areas. Since there are several small patches of Bermuda already growing great there. We took out the remainder of the fescue and installed Bermuda sod in its place. There is a small area on the slope above the cart path that will be sodded as well in a couple weeks after greens aerification. We will be doing some more Bermuda sodding on the course at that time.

Fan Project Update

Marty and Jr finish digging holes for fan bases

This last week the crew, installed the 4 ground posts for the new fans on #1,#2,#12,and #14. The electrical contractor installed the three new power meter mounts and are waiting on code inspections. Once the inspections are approved, they will start trenching and installing conduit for the wire. Trenching should start Wednesday this next week, along with the power companies being able to run power to the new meters. So be aware of workers on the course not use to golfers and golf balls. We are planning on starting play on the back, on days they are working on the front two holes. As part of this project, the course crew will be repairing the stone walk bridge on #2. We are installing a concrete walking surface and adding some additional stones to the top.
