What a wild week that was. Talk about the perfect storm with perfect timing. We had just finished the overseeding of the roughs the Friday before this week’s 1.75″ rain event. The rain really will help with the germination and successful establishment of the rye seed. Some of the tee tops are seeded as well. We will be finishing this up on Monday. Please note that we have placed stakes and rope to help keep the foot traffic off the new seedlings. We will be using the back of the tees for an extended period of time until the middle and front of the tees are ready for play. Afterwards the back of the tees will be touched up with some additional seed as needed. It’s really great and exciting to get the lightning and thunder. This is how Mother Nature applies fertilizer for all of her plants. You will also begin to notice the native grasses starting to emerge which is triggered by rain. I don’t know about you, but I am looking forward to the next few months and especially next spring. I am very excited about getting our new fairways in perfect shape for all of you by the middle of the summer.
