Patience

There is a lot of seeding going on in the roughs and fairways now. The seed is now germinating and growing in. The first picture is of bentgrass from #4 fairway and the second is Turf Type Tall Fescue that was seeded in front of the maintenance facility.

While there is disruption now the payoff will come. Here's a picture of the left hand side fairway bunker from the summer of 2011.

After seeding with Turf Type Tall Fescue last fall this is how the bunker surrounds looked this summer.

Again, this is not a "miracle turf" by any means. But does require less water, pesticides and nutrients then what is currently out there. While the seeding takes time. The wait is worth it.
