Sod work

     We have been busy the last couple of days fixing some of the bad areas around a number of our greens.  The bentgrass from our greens has encroached into the surround turf.  A lot of the bentgrass burn out during the recent heat spells we had last month.  We cut out all the dead bentgrass and sodded the approaches with Zoysia and the green surrounds we used Turf Type Fescue.  The Fescue is a lot more heat tolerant than the Bentgrass.  I would like to continue sodding more Turf Type Fescue around all of our green surrounds.  We will also over seed the surrounds with the same Turf Type Fescue.  Approaches we fixed were 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17.  Green surrounds we fixed were 9,10, 11, 15, 16,  and 17.  Below are a few pictures of the process.
