While the team from Mottin Golf are awesome to work with, it is always satisfying when major construction projects are completed. The creation of a short game area, construction of new tees on #10, and bunker work on #11 were significant, and took a great deal of planning. The Club is fortunate to be working with one of the most sought after golf course architects, Andrew Green.
Now that seed and sod are down, one of the challenges is maintaining turf that is at different levels of establishment. That is, the needs of sod which was put down a month ago are not the same as a roll that was installed last week.
Until everything is well-rooted and we can allow conditions to firm up a bit, the mowing will all be done by hand, and we won't be able to drive a sprayer onto these areas. With any luck, in a month from now, we should be able to include most of this in our normal mowing routine.
Without a doubt, the installation of a tee to green cart path on #10 is a huge help at this time, as it allows us to keep cart traffic off the newly seeded and sodded areas.
It will be spring, 2022 when the short game area is ready for use--we are all excited to see the divots start flying at this new amenity!
