On Wednesday we were able to get sod and finish the fairway project on #14. I also ordered enough sod to sod the new cart path edge on #17. The project went well and in a few weeks we will start the work on #8 which will include sub-surface drainage, surface drainage, and more sod. Big rolls of sod cost $1.05 per yard plus about $100 for delivery if we can keep the amount small enough to avoid the semi. The remainder of the season this area will be mowed to 1 and 1/4 inch and next year in the spring we will re-draw the fairway to include this new area.
Once the sod is healed in along the cart path traffic will be able to continue as normal, but for now the best option is for cart traffic to vary the entry points and avoid the wettest parts of the new sod.
On Monday we will be deep-tining the greens and the course will be closed. The remainder of the week will be spent monitoring green recovery and repairing a few bad spots on collars #12 and #11 with our nursery bentgrass. If time allows I will also be addressing the exit point on #1 and #2 cart paths. We have a pallet of old pavers left over from a project and we will use those to make a smooth transition from path to turf.
