Lakes #4 Rough Project Update 10/17/19

The area to the right of the cart path on Lakes #4 was recently hydroseeded, along with a few other areas, also on the Lakes course.  The hydroseed consisted of Kentucky Bluegrass and Fine Fescue grass seeds, a starter fertilizer, and hydromulch.  The hydromulch makes up the largest portion of the spray mix and is mostly paper fibers.  The grass seed attaches to the mulch during the application process, and the mulch holds water that the seed needs to germinate faster.  If applied properly, the mulch will also stick to the ground and minimize washouts during rain events.  We've had a couple heavy rains and the areas have not washed out thanks to the proper application by the contractor.  The next few days are supposed to be sunny and a little warmer, so we should see new seedlings in that time.  We won't mow the new grass until it has mostly filled in and had time to mature.

The contractor started hydroseeding down near the rain shelter on Lakes #4 and worked his way back up towards the tees.
