Bermuda sod removal/short range targets

To the right of the old 17th front bunker, there was a patch of bermuda that we cut with the intermediate mower.  With the new approach placed in zoysia, this area was going to be converted to rough height.  No one likes a solid patch of bermuda at 3" so we removed it today.  I had a pallet of fescue sod left over from the rut work last week and over the weekend we were trying to complete.  The pallet got a little yellowed over the weekend.  It should green up over the next few days as we lay it on the spot on #17.  The bermuda remnants from 17 have been dumped on the targets on the short range and will be used to help cover the targets.  With some heavy applications of water and fertilization, I would expect the targets to be completely filled in over the next 30 days or so if the weather gets to a more normal temperature for June.

I know, brown side down not up.  Sod will revive in the next few days.  Replacing bermuda to the right side of #17 green.

Chunks of bermuda that will make up the surface of our targets on the short range.
