The tee renovation is progressing nicely and the contractor is nearing completion of Grove #2 tees. Sod installation is scheduled for Wednesday, 10/4 and Thursday, 10/5, and will finish the tees on Lakes #6, Orchard #9, Grove #2 and #9.
Work also started on Grove #3 gold tee this weekend to make room for stockpiling soil and sand. All the tees on #3 are being renovated to some degree, and work will start on the gold tee and move forward. Tree removal is also necessary on #3 due to their close proximity to the tees. We found tree roots within the top 3 inches under the teeing surface of the gold tee, which explains why the turf decline was so severe. Besides competition with the roots, the size of the trees block out much-needed sunlight and airflow, which is why the tees and surrounds are always wet.
