#14 Gold Tee

We have recently completed reseeding the 14th Gold Tee and re-sodding the Bluegrass surrounding it.

We began by excavating the old tee surface and replacing it with fresh loam.
 
 
We used a bunker rake in order to level out the loam.
 
This picture shows the tee after being leveled and its new soil amended.
 
 
After amending the soil, we fertilized and seeded the new tee. This picture shows the Bluegrass rough sod that will surround the tee.
 
 
This picture shows the finished product. We will continue to post pictures as the seed germinates.

Bunker Edge Rebuild

Today we began reconstructing low edges of bunkers. These edges have deteriorated allowing sand to be pulled and washed out of bunkers.
 

We began by removing the sand that had washed out of the bunker.
 

After the sand was removed, we excavated material that had been compromised by it and replaced it with fresh loam.
We also added a piece of plywood in order to prevent the sand from washing out into the cavity before we have a chance to put new sod down.
As soon as the sod arrives these areas will look and play great.
