We have spent a lot of time on the greens the last two weeks. We have already top dressed four times and we roll the greens before and after the top dresser with the retired tennis court roller, picture above. The transmission blew out the other day so we installed a hitch device to pull the roller with a cart. The roller really firms up the greens and is making the process work better. We have already lowered the height on the greens from .190" to .180". We are filling some of the eroded areas from the winter thaw on the greens with hex plugs and bent sod from the nursery. Ted Moore finished the back 9 cart path overlay in 11 hours. We will begin sod edges next to cart paths shortly. We have had a difficult time pulling sod due to the lack of warmer temperatures, the sod won't stay in one piece. After the rain, we will try again. The new cart path areas on the front such as the one pictured above on 9, have been sodded. The irrigation system has been pressurized. The debris from stump grinding has been removed and we are already back filling and compacting the areas for sod install later.
