It has been awhile since I last updated my blog. Lots of thing have been going on. Spring is here and summer is not far off. Over the past winter we cut down 40 trees and cleaned up the tops of 10 trees to the right of #1 green. I can tell you this my staff and I are tired of cutting timber. These tree removals will improve playability of the golf course. We still have work to be done. All of the stumps have to be remove. My stump guy has us on the schedule. When stumps are cleaned up we will sod cart paths at #1 green and #10 green. This will be a big improvement to these 2 areas.
The Driving Range Tee, #4, #6 and #9 Black tees got a makeover this month. We stripped all sod off the tees, tilled them up and laser leveled all four tees. It took almost 2 weeks to get new Zoysia sod. The rain kept sod farm too wet to cut zoysia sod. We laid sod and then it decided to turn unseasonably cool. The zoysia on the tees is finally sending roots down. We are trying to get these tees open by end of May.
