As the Days Progress

Spot Repairs on 13

 Yesterday we finished the spot sodding on 11 and 13's greens.  The removed sod was quite alive so we put that sod back into our nursery where we can get some time to recover it correctly without interfering with our members.

Still Deciding the Direction to Go on 12

The last green the we have to address will be 12, but so far I am still determining which areas I exactly want to address.  The sad news is that these spot sodded areas only have 60 days on grow time before overseeding so there is a chance we will have to address again next year.  But we should have enough sod in-house to prevent expenditures and will be healthier than the thatchy than the West Coast sod.

This higher than normal humidity is keeping us on our toes.  We are logging over 100 hours per week combined just to try to stay ahead of the growth of just the roughs.  This week we finally finished catching up on the weed eating including the valve boxes.  These valve boxes are important to be able to find the shut off valve, and also to prevent the aerifier from damaging them.  Next we will address the sprinkler heads. 

This week too we have been addressing the suckers and the low hanging branches.  This allow better maintenance, improved playability and allows more light to reach the turf making it healthier.
