Zoysia tee repair

The staff replaced the damaged zoysia sod from the blue tees on holes #6 and #12 yesterday.  The damaged areas were stripped out with and sod cutter and sod was cut from our zoysia sod nursery between hole #16/10.   Assistant Skip, Russ and Tom L. began the job and Assistant Mike, Tom M. and Arian jumped in and helped finish the job before the rain set in at noon.

Tom M. is preparing to fill the cracks of the  sod with green sand.  We stripped in a small section on #4 tee as well which had some damage as well.                                                                  

Nick is beginning to fill the cracks in the new sod on #12 blue tee with green sand. The sand helps the turf hold its moisture along the seams and allows the turf to grow through the sand and speeds up the recovery of the turf and helps to make the playing surface smooth.
