Sodding is Complete

Today we completed the sodding portion of the kikuyu fairway improvement program with two semi truck loads or 15,500 square feet of sod on hole #18.  Below are before and after pictures. 


We still have some work to do on the new kikuyu sod.  Next week we will continue aerifing and topdressing with sand on holes #13 and #14.  If #16 and #17 are ready and we have the time we will do those as well and finish with #18 the following week.  This process helps the sod knit with the native soil as well as even out some of the imperfections in the sodding process.

The next steps in the kikuyu fairway improvement plan will be some continued oak tree thinning in September and seeding areas that did not recieve sod in October.  We have noticed many new kikuyu plants in areas we seeded in the spring.
