New 9 Construction Diary.....Page 11
     
 #9 fairway, seeding and mulching  Beautiful blue sky, eh? The dry weather has been wonderful for construction so far. At some point, though, we will need some nice, soft, all night rains. In this photo, we are seeding the fairway (bentgrass) and rough. The cart path is the light streak. #9 green is in the distance. The upper end is yellow since Courtney Contracting is power mulching the area with straw. This was taken on July 12th.
     
   Mulching day on #9, just in front of the green. The seeder is on the right, and the hay truck and shooter are in the center. It's quick but very dusty.
     
 #9 fairway, one week later  This is #9 on July 20th. Our grass came in quickly. This view is looking down the cart path toward the green. The fairway is a bit slower to germinate, so it still looks much more yellow than the rough.
     
 Construction mix on #2 green  The construction mix is in on #2, and is being smoothed. The fairway is being cleared of debris. It's very, very dusty. This is July 20th.
     
 new #9 on July 27  Here is #9 on about July 27th, growing in nicely. The drop area is in the foreground.
     
 9 fairway after the storm  Well, the dry weather had to end sometime. Like July 28th. This is looking across 9 fairway toward the white tees. It held up pretty well, all things considered.
     
silt fence along big lake after the storm Even though there was grass covering most of the fairway and there is a diversion channel above the fairway, the 4" of rain managed to push over the super silt fence in this spot.
     
9 green following the storm #9 green hadn't been planted as far in advance as the fairway, so it really got washed out. We had to spend several days re-leveling the surface, clearing debris, and reseeding.
