As a whole, the current state of our seed projects, the practice tee, the approach fairway on number 8 and the whole of 18 fairway, for the most part, are progressing on schedule. However, some of you will notice that some work has been done on number 18. While the rest of the fairway is filling in nicely, I've noticed in the past few weeks that the front right portion of this fairway was not keeping up. Upon closer inspection it was revealed that the seed there had not reached proper depth, and was struggling to perform.
After allowing the seed some time to progress, it was clear that this area would be germinating sparsely if at all, and I opted to reseed the area to the proper depth. This is a better option than waiting because it allows us to maximize what sun we have left in this season, as ungerminated seed does not use nor require sun. This also allows us to take advantage of sun in the coming months, should we find ourselves in the middle of a mild spell this winter, and to utilize everything from the very first rays of sun and heat in the coming spring.
See you on the course,
