18 Approach...Update 6/13/12

Work on #18 is nearing the end and I, like everyone else, are anxious to the see the final product.  New irrigation and drainage have been installed and thoroughly tested, and three truck loads of bluegrass and fine fescue sod (around 30,000 square feet) have been laid in the areas designated as rough.  New bentgrass sod (10,000 sq ft) will be installed Thursday for the enlarged fairway/approach, and then it's up to us to keep enough water on the sod to allow for proper rooting.  Once the sod is down foot traffic will be limited in the the flatter areas, and walking up or down the hillsides/slopes should be avoided.  With favorable weather I anticipate being able to play off the new sod in a couple weeks.
