On the right path...

The break in the weather this past week made it feel like spring may not be all that far away.  With the ground thawing out, the guys were able to strip, prep and sod a number of cart path ends around the golf course.

With all cart traffic being funneled into these pinch points, the turf doesn't get much rest.  Over the years, we have tried a number of products that are intended to reduce wear and compaction in these areas, all with limited success.

We were also able to swap out a few pieces of sod on #18 approach, which had Poa, for Bentgrass harvested from our nursery.

As we've said in the past, the benefit to sodding now is that the sod will root without needing to be nursed, as it does most other times of the year.
