Update: White Tee #9


Construction of the new white tee on #9 has been completed.  We have begun rolling the teeing surface to work all the bumps from sod out.  We will begin mowing and applying sand topdressing next week to help in the smoothing process.  Once the turf begins rooting and we see growth, we should be able to get golfers on it.

New White Tee on #9

We have started construction on the new white tee on the 9th hole.  We were able to get it rough shaped today, and will begin to fine tune things tomorrow.  We will start by adding 6" of 6-2-2 mix (60% sand, 20% soil, 20% peat) for the playing surface, and adding a layer of clean top soil to the banks.  At the same time Mike and Dale will add two new irrigation heads for proper coverage of the tee.  Things will be finished with Bentgrass sod for the teeing area, and bluegrass sod around the banks.  Things should be all wrapped up by Monday, but could be earlier depending on material delivery.
