First One Done!

After much anticipation the seventeenth green is done! Although the weather this weekend wasn't exactly pleasant, a lot was accomplished. Yesterday, the irrigation on 17 was charged up so that it could be used for #17 green. Today Kris' crew spent the whole day finishing the green. They started the day by doing the "final float". This entails smoothing out the green surface as much as possible and making sure the contours are correct.

After performing the final float, the green was ready to be resodded. The crew sodded the edge of the green to form a clean line. They then started sodding from the middle of the green to the outside.

Using the plywood in the process insures that they are not walking on the final float and putting footprints on the green.

Despite being cut for almost two weeks, the sod is very healthy as shown by the extensive white roots and dark green turf! Yes, those are all roots on the roll and not the plastic that is beneath the sod!

The finished product along with our new irrigation watering the sod. Stay tuned for further updates!
