Fall Flavors

Well its the fall now, heard that there was reports of snow on windshields over the weekend. So people always ask the question, 'Things must be slowing down for you guys...", well not so much really. Here are a few of the things we are up to lately...

More Tee reno's. We are working once again with Lyle Robinson from Finishscapers to level a few more of the white tee decks. Over the last little bit we picked off #3, #13,#15, and #8. You will notice that there is not much sod left on the back deck on #8 and there is a bare patch on #3 fairway...well that's where we got the new sod to lay on the leveled tees. We are filling up these areas with cores from the greens aeration, and they will be back in play by early next year.

                                                            removing the sod on #8

                                                     part of the new sod laid on #15

                                                     #3 & #13 resodded and healing

Greens Aeration
Originally scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, the rain pushed us to today. We completed the front 9 today and will tackle the back tomorrow. The process includes pulling a 5/8 core with our procore 648, shoveling the cores off with our retrofitted shovel setup on the sand pro and manual shovel power, then drag matting and blowing off the leftover chaff. Once we complete the back tomorrow we will begin the sanding process to fill the holes back in. The topdressing will take a couple of days to fill them up completely. We will then roll, roll, roll to smooth them back out.
