Grassing has begun!

Finally I am proud to say that the grassing has started on the driving range tee and mounds.  This is definitely a good sign that the project is on the way to completion!  The grass being installed is 419 Bermudagrass, along with some Zorro Zoysiagrass being installed around the chipping green.  To date we have completely sodded our larger 2 tiered teeing surface, the mounds behind the tee, teaching building tee, all around the chipping green and new driving range bunkers, and about 75% of the haul road on #8 fairway.  All in all we have installed 15 tractor trailer loads of sod, which when all laid out covers a little over 3 acres!  Not too bad for 4 days of work!  Once TDI starts to get the remainder of the driving range shaped out, the sod installation crew will return and finish the work.  Take a look at the big rolls of sod and how they are installed........

I agree the grass does not look very green and lush, but this is because it is starting to come out of winter dormancy.  After a few weeks of drinking lots of water and soaking up the sun, this 419 Bermudagrass will be green and growing once it wakes from its winter slumber!
