Course Update and Pace of Play Episode 2: Course Setup

The course took 4.2 inches of rain during the week with very minimal damage to the course. The crew took advantage of the wet conditions filling all the fairway and tee divots this week. Please do your part to fill all your divots and fix all your ball marks. The rain kept us from finishing our rough sod work in certain areas so that will be completed next week. We were able to topdress the greens before the rain which is perfect as it impacts very few members. The new fairway sod expansions were aerated and topdressed with sand on Friday as well to help the knitting process. We are getting closer to our final heights of cut on the new sod as well. The picture below shows the XGD drainage from 5 green doing its job, as water is still exiting the pipe 6 hours after it finished raining. We started to double cut the greens using an afternoon dry mow with the Triflex mower so the speeds should begin to increase and become more consistent.

In keeping with our Pace of Play direction a new clock has been added by the 5th green/6 forward tee that will show your starting tee time if your on pace. The following video is the second in the USGA educational videos.
