Fortunately the weather held up for us on Monday! We were able to core all of our greens, remove the cores, topdress and Greensweep! Today is another story! Deep Verticutting is almost done and cleaned. But that will end our work on greens for today. Typically we apply a second topdressing and spend numerous man hours working the sand into the holes...but damp and wet conditions have hampered progress. Therefore we will be applying a topdressing of sand on Wednesday morning to be followed by a brushing. With a dry forecast ahead, this should finish off the holes and verticut lines in our greens. The next step will be to roll the greens to help smooth them out from all of the abuse. We will then apply an application of soluble fertilizer to aid in recovery.
The past few days we have been able to make great strides on the bunker project on #17. All three of the new bunkers have been shaped and drained. Tuesday morning Ian Andrew our consulting golf course architect, will be painting the final contours in the bunkers. We will then install the bunker boards and back fill with topsoil to the new edges. Once the edges are established we will add the new sand and await sod. The rain and snow that we recieved over the last couple of days has had little effect on the rough shaping process. We are hoping for some drier days to complete the fine tuning and sod prepping.
