Range sprigging

The range closed on Tuesday so we could sprig the landing area.  We finished the sprigging process Wednesday and it will be closed for about another month.  We are having great bermuda growing weather right now and this should make for a pretty quick renovation.  Because construction took a little longer than expected last summer, we weren't able to sprig then.  We seeded it with rye grass and it looked great over the fall, winter and this spring.  In the southern transition zone, rye is not a realistic option.  There are far too many necessary inputs (water, fertilizer, pesticides, ect.).

The rest of the course is looking great.  The new holes are now almost completely grown in and being maintained just like the older holes.  There are a couple of areas that we are going to have to continue pushing this summer, but overall, I am happy with where we are right now.

We have had to spend a tremendous amount of time over the last 10-14 days on bunker repairs.  The heavy rains that have come through have wreaked havoc on them.  Most of the new bunkers held up pretty well, but I can't say the same for the older bunkers.  We have also found a couple of clogged drains that we are in the process of repairing.

As always, let us know if you have any questions or concerns.  See you on the course!
