Green Perimeters Sodded

     We had enough dry time to get 3 more green perimeters sodded last week.  Holes 8, 15 and 17 were sodded with Turf Type Tall Fescue (TTTF).  I would like to thank my staff for working there butts off.  We need to finish before Thursday night because forecast was calling  for rain.  We ended up not getting hardly any rain.  We stripped 9 feet around each green.  All old sod had to be removed by hand.  We need 650 yds of sod to get these 3 greens completed.  The sod from Keeven Brothers was wetter than normal.  It made it harder to get sod into place.  We used 16-30 yard Big rolls and 170 yards of smaller slabs.  I would like to get holes 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, and 16 done before summer.  Hopefully we will get more dry time to get these holes completed.
