Sod Installation

West Coast Turf began installing our new Santa Ana Bermudagrass on #6 yesterday. They will move on from there to #7, saving #8 for last. Right now they are planting about an acre a day, which should see the project complete on Monday (7/18).

With some sunshine, water and fertilizer we hope to open all of the holes by August 1st.

Phase 2 Begins!

Phase 2 of the Fairway Improvement Plan began yesterday. We completed removing the old turf on #6, moving on to #7 today. If all goes as planned, we will complete #7 today and start #8. We will begin to install sod tomorrow, which will continue into the weekend.

Project Prep

Phase 2 of the Fairway Improvement Plan begins next week. We are just finalizing all of the project details, gathering the necessary equipment, and going through the schedule with a fine tooth comb. The Kikuyu on # 6 has been sprayed with a selective herbicide and we are seeing great results.

We continue to water holes 6-8, as many of the heads that water the fairways also irrigate the rough areas. We also want to avoid creating a surface that is so hard that we will have problems aerifying.

Aerification and stripping will begin on Monday the 11th and sod will begin to be installed on the 13th.

I will keep you updated as the process moves along.......
