The greens and grounds committee is committed to the long
term well being of the golf course. One
of the glaring deficiencies is the lack of a sod nursery. A good sod nursery pays for itself because
it is an insurance policy against situations like winterkill, vandalism, and
summer stress. Also sod nurseries are beneficial
for projects because you do not need to pay for sod from an outside
source.
Starting today we are starting work on a sod nursery near
the maintenance facility in the two vacant lots on Ridgeway Drive. We are getting over 200 loads of fill and
will be leveling the area with a large bulldozer. Once the leveling phase is finished we will
install irrigation, add proper amendments (mainly sand), and seed. This project will not interfere with the golf
course other than some noise on #11.
This is a great long term investment that will pay us back in the
future.
Stay tuned in the upcoming months for progress of this
project!
