Bridgewater Grounds

These snow piles might be around for a bit!

Trimming the sod before we add sand. Today was about training the crew and getting a system. Luckily, we did a small bunker project on the executive course a few winters ago. A few hiccups and we are back in action.

First mow on the putter. Seeded two weeks ago… a few scalps but squirrel damage much worse than the scalps. Overall very please.

Frost yesterday so we covered our putting green. Seeded last Saturday. Covered Thursday and Friday.

Practice putter this evening. Seeded Saturday and showing out. Nursery seeded today so think it’s time to retire the drop seeder for now.

The new practice putting green off the first tee…we can’t wait to see the final outcome.

Mowed bent grass today. Look close and you can see the first mow on our sod at the approach. A bit squishy but about to mow. The goal is to topdress the seams today as well.

Last green seeded and being dimpled…

.3” of rain on Saturday and plenty of heat and sunshine on Sunday. Check out the difference from Saturday.

Seeded with 007XL one week ago. We are off to the races. Seeding the last nine holes today.

The first of many(18) fwy/approach tie-ins. This is the 14th hole with the sod coming from the 12th. Working through process for our team as we prepare the greens for seed.

Beautiful start to the day! Come out and enjoy the 9 hole Executive course

First rough float ahead of Mr Liddy’s approval.

Getting back nine greens ready for seed!

Day 12 Completing the demo of the 18th green. Next week’s focus will be green perimeters while hauling new mix for final grade inside the well. Plenty of moving parts and the work will continue on the next nine holes.

Initial look at green well.

Contractor is transitioning to fwy bunkers. Monday we move to green complexes on the second nine.

It begins!

Our fescue/blue seed has arrived! Great name! Overseeding 20 acres of rough during our greens/bunker renovation. August 11th cant come soon enough!

Some cart traffic showing on #10 at fairway entry point. It’s hard to believe we have only two more full weekends before the project.
