The extension on the 3rd green is really taking shape. After a bit of fertilizer and some warm weather, the new sod is finally growing. Now it is time to start mowing and topdressing in order to get it nice and smooth and ready for play in about a month. We figure that we can have the new portion of the green ready to go in the beginning of June.
The extension once it is ready for play will have some great pin placements and will be a great hole to play. The back, middle and front of the right side has plenty of pin placements for us to use this season. No more going at the pin and ending up in the water.
Today was the first mowing of the new sod as well as a light topdressing of sand to help smooth the putting surface. We will continue mowing, rolling and topdressing until the putting surface is ready for play. Below are a few pictures from today.
