The turf has slowed down dramatically in the last few days.  We didn't even mow the fairways this week.  We have begun work on the fairway bunkers and have completed two so far.  This entails removing the old sand and spreading it throughout the deep rough, adding a new drainage system, and then adding new sand.  Each bunker requires between thirty and forty tons of sand!  Detail work continues on the fairways and rough.  The disturbed area of the third hole was reseeded on Monday and a pelletized mulch was dispersed over the bare areas.  Hopefully this will enhance seedling development in this area.

 

The third hole after reseeding. This area has a southern exposure that will help the seed get started as the weather cools down.

 

Pelletized mulch.  This product expands with water and naturally degrades.

Sod work to improve the definition from fairway to rough.

 

 

Similar work on the eighth hole.

 

 

The second fairway.  Turf density continues to improve but the seed rows are still present in many areas.

 

 

The newly seeded rough is getting dense!
