Greens need roots!!
Geeens are looking really good right now! Roots are nice and white and I'm very pleased with the root depth. We are driving roots in the spring. We want deep and white roots, so going into the summer we are as healthy as can be. The roots will shrink up and reduce threw the heat of the summer. So the deeper we can drive them in the spring the more successful we will be threw the summer.

Sod here, sod there, soon to be sod everywhere!
As you guys know we have several areas around the course that are more dirt than grass. I will be addressing some of these areas this spring. My focus is more of the high traffic and visible areas for now. The other concern is that the irrigation is in very poor condition and a lot of these areas are from lack of irrigation. So, I can't just go and sod every little dirt spot on the course (as much as I would like to). Especially if there's no water to keep it alive. So there's my dilemma. Trust me I would love to half 100% turf on the golf course just as bad as you guys. So it will be a slow process, but just know that I'm working in the right direction, it's just going to be an uphill climb. I just ask for your patience and support and together we will get this course back to its prime.
Here are a few pictures of some sodding taken place at clubhouse, #10 green walk on area, and #9 left rough.
