I have been trying to think of a way to explain more clearly the night and day difference between the kiln dried sand we are removing from beneath the greens expansions and the custom blend we are replacing it with. In the end, however, the simplest way to compare and contrast is to see the two things you are considering side by side. To that end, I will be leaving a small sample of each material in the men's locker room tomorrow morning. Please feel free to examine and touch each one. Hopefully the difference will immediately become clear.
The expansion repairs are coming along nicely, with the work on schedule for completion by the end of the week. As always we ask that you please respect the rope and stake boundaries we've erected around each of the finished areas, as they will remain even after the construction phase is finished. Again, any traffic on the mats we've laid over our work areas could damage or kill the tender seedlings growing beneath them.
Remember: the expansion you damage could be your own.
See you on the course!
