We finished the front white tee on 4 today. It looks really good.
I have 5 more pallets of sod coming on Tuesday. It's still early, and some of these areas around greens would probably come back but I'm fairly certain that bermuda sod is going to be imposible to find in the next month or so. Most of the Carolinas and spots in Virginia Beach and Richmond are destroyed with winterkill, and the available sod in the Mid-Atlantic is going to be gobbled up quickly. I figure I can put some in the worst areas around greens and put any extra on some of the shaded areas on fairways that lost some grass (5,14)....either way, I'm going to get it while I still can.
We got really lucky with winterkill this year. A lot of courses got hit pretty hard, but it looks like our swamp-like soils helped to keep things from drying out and dieing from the extreme lows. It's not all bad having soil you can make clay pots with.....
The fairways are looking really good and full. We made the first application of growth regulator today. Everything is starting to fill out and get defined...it's go time.
