New ornamental bed on #13 tee

Since we changed the design of #13 tees last season, the ornamental bed and walk path do not fit with the new tee design.  Today, the staff stripped off the sod in a different location based on Becky's recommendation.  We will be establishing a new bed between the new white/blue teeing ground in the next week or two.  The old bed will be removed and the area will be placed back to turf.  If you look close enough, I think you might see Mickey Mouse in that design!

13 tee update

Well, we rented a skid steer and worked Friday morning on the tee until a toad strangler rain came along and stopped us in our tracks so to speak.  Rented the skid again late yesterday afternoon and got about 1.5 hours in this morning and was stopped by .10" of rain.  Not much rain but just enough to mess with our plans.  We hope to do some additional work tomorrow, rain dependent and then have the tee laser leveled on Thursday or Friday.  We plan to have it sodded before the weekend is over to allow it to grow for the next few weeks before the beginning of the Invitational.  We also plan to laser level the 4th red tee as well.  One of the things I forgot to mention in our presentation last week at the membership meeting.
