Growth

Well, we are still a little less than a month from the Marathon Classic and I am very pleased with our recovery thus far.  Much of the seed we planted has germinated and begun to fill in nicely, and the existing bentgrass is filling many of the patches in on it's own.  More fertilizer and helpful chemicals are being applied today which will really help to keep things growing.

Look at the neat rows of emerging bentgrass seedlings filling in the spectator crosswalk on #10 fairway.

Another traffic patch on #9 fairway with lots of nice seedlings coming up.

 As this growth progresses in the fairways, we are going to begin repairing some of the areas in the rough that were damaged during the tournament as well as some of the bird baths from the monsoon season just before.  We will start around #2 green, #1 green, and #18 green where traffic and disease demolished some of our heavy bentgrass and poa annua rough.

Again, thank you for your patience while we get things put back together.
