Short Range Closed Tuesday after 18 hole ladies tee off

The short range will be closed after the 18 hole ladies begin their Match Play round on Tuesday morning for construction.  We removed the smaller targets and added soil for a fourth target green today during the outing that was at the club.  We still have to haul additional soil to the added target and the deepest target needs to be enlarged by a few feet as well.  We will then begin finish grading the surfaces.  Our last step will be to harvest some bermuda sod that will be used as sprigs that will grow and cover the target areas.  I'm not sure if this will get completed on Tuesday but should get it sprigged by Wednesday.

We will be seeding and strawing the old targets with ryegrass which will germinate quickly.  Bermuda that was throughout the target areas should then grow up through the ryegrass giving us cover for the season.  We intend to cut these targets at 1/2" which is the tee height.  This should give you a good contrast is texture and color between the targets and the surrounding 3" rough.  We will be placing the colored poles in the targets and will get our sign changed for the new yardages in the next few days.

Skip removing the small targets on short range

The fourth and newly added target to the range in the center.  Still needs a couple more loads of dirt.
