Here are some pics of the work going on along the cart path on #2. We are removing the curb and re-leveling the ground. The curbing that is around the course breaks easily, limits cart path width and allows us to easily maintain these edges. The first pic was taken after we removed all the concrete and the second was taken after the sod was removed and the ground was graded. The final step is to replace the sod along the path.
As you can see the rough is starting to go dormant. We call this look "Tiger Stripes" - this happens after the first few frosts when the grass is making its way towards dormancy. We should have the carts off the paths for at least the next couple weeks until the rough starts to show some wear from cart traffic. It's done growing for the year so it cant recover from the traffic that the carts put on it. This wear in most cases won't kill the plant - although it could if the traffic was concentrated enough - but it will severely impede spring greenup and result in an unhealthy plant.
