After a few rain days the tee project was finally finished a few weeks ago (The week of September 28). 11t was a big change and we chose to sod the tee tops with shade acclimated sod from 18t. As you can see below the 3 new tee tops are strikingly different.

18 red and yellow were also split into 2 tees. The yellow tee is considerably larger than the other yellow tees on the course in anticipation of using the back portion of the tee for an occasional white tee placement.
The tees on 16 and 17 were mowed for the first time this week. Each tee top has been covered and the grass under the covers is growing quickly in current weather. As the temperatures drop the covers will help prolong the growing season. On a sunny day the temperatures under the covers can be as much as 10 degrees higher than the outside air.
