Tired of Waiting

5's Green -Scalping & Shade Leading to Algae
Watching the scalped areas I was getting tired of waiting for the complete recovery since the algae was starting in these stressed areas.  Algae which has been a major issue for Avondale can kill turf just as quickly as the best herbicide, so we decided to fix those areas.
Re-Sodding Back Section of 5's Green
We started yesterday with 5 (see above pictures) and finish the minor spots on the large PG that we did not address during our repair.
The Original Sodded Area on 13 (6-3-13)

Scalped Spots on 13's Green
Today, we addressed 13 and 11 greens.  The removed sod was so alive we put that sod back into the nursery where we can deal with it better without interfering with our members.  Additionally, putting this "thatchy" sod in the nursery will aid in a quicker recovery.
 
New Lock on 5's Bathroom
Finally, the locks are on the bathroom at 5's tee.  Maybe now we can keep the unwanted gardeners out of our private property.
