Update on #8 tee

We've been watering the tee excessively over the last few days to keep the turf wet as it is beginning to send down roots into the soil.  The fescue is showing some stress from the mid-90's heat but I expect it to bounce back this week as the temperatures moderate.  The zoysia has shown very little stress after being laid and is in excellent condition.  We  have about 25 pieces of fescue sod that we will pick up early in the week to finish off the area next to the red tee and the front of the new tee surround.

We have some asphalt patch work to do along the back and the right side of the teeing area this week.  We will begin to reduce watering to help firm up the surface in the next few days as the roots become stronger which will then allow us to get a walking mower onto the teeing ground area sometime during the week of July 5th.

We are going to take a picture from the Halfway House roof in the next few days which will give you a great overhead view of the new tee.
