Monday the right-side banks of one and nine green received a much needed face lift. In just under one hour and forty-five minutes the crew laid over 6,700 square feet of sod! It was a truly impressive sight. These areas are very high traffic spots and wear to the point of destruction is unavoidable given enough time. On a golf course, where play (and so wear) is the goal, the only way to repair an area like this is to eventually strip and re-sod it. So today we did just that.
In a very real way the most important effort comes now. We will do our part by keeping the sod watered and fed, but the membership must do it's part by respecting the rope, stake, and signs we have put in place around each area. I know I have said before how tender sod is at this stage. Traffic or play of any kind can cause irreparable damage and undo all that hard work.
See you on the course!
