Loose Ends

We are wrapping up a lot of loose ends this week before we get into our fairway project next week. One of our main objectives was to prep historically bad areas on holes 6-9 for sod patchwork. Where possible, we have been transplanting good Bermuda from areas that will be stripped; trying to minimize waste. However, once I calculate the labor required, I think we might be better off installing new sod.


If there is any question about Bermuda's ability to survive on less water, I think this picture is worth a thousand words. Note the completely dead cool season grass (mostly poa) surrounding the completely healthy Bermuda.


The Bermuda continues to thrive, yet it only receives water 1-2 days per week


Yes, with the current water restrictions, Bermuda is our only real option!
