Sod Work

#9 Tee Box that we moved from under the trees.

We've been sodding the entire week and there's no end in sight. Our focus was cleaning up the tree debris the first couple weeks but now we've shifted to making sure everything looks good around the course. Today we received 4 pallets of Bluegrass sod and it's already gone. Most of the areas we have been sodding are stressed, weak, or dead due to either grub damage or poor drainage.

The Photo above is of our first major sod project, moving #9 forward tee from a shady spot under the trees and off center with the rest of the teeboxes to the center and in line with the rest of the tees. Since finishing we've done #3 cart path, #12 tee box and bank, #12 approach, several stump holes that are near play, and almost all of the rough near the cart path on #10. We have quite a few more projects ahead of us. The more sodding we do, the better we should look for the CVS tournament in June.
