Driving Range Progress

We are nearing completion on the range. Almost everything is sodded and the only thing left is to install the matting. The rain from the hurricane set us back about a week but thankfully resulted in no damage.

Wind Damage on greens

The wind from Hurricane Sandy blew some small ruts in the greens in spots where the grass had not completely grown together. It basically blew the greens mix out in some spots. We are going around and topdressing these areas before they grow over.

8 green water

The Tide is rising pretty high around 8 green.

River holes

The river is starting to come up. It is in the waste bunker now. Hopefully it does not come up much higher and stays out of the newly finished greenside bunkers.

Range sod

Here is a picture of the range on Sunday. The sod is almost complete. Hopefully it all holds up through the storm.

A few of the greens are coming in much slower than the rest of the greens.  Greens like #5, 7, 8, 12, and 14 are a little behind the rest due to the early shade that is getting on these greens.  Sunlight this time of year on new greens is extremely important to help the greens mature.  

 

We removed t a lot of trees behind 14 and trimed up some other trees, and I have seen a beneficial affect on this green just within the last week or so since the tree work was done.

 

We will continue to do some selective thinning to decrease the amount of shade on these greens.
