Preparing for new sod
Re-sod #15 Green

   Projects
           

As the Stonebridge Golfing Calendar comes to a close, I wanted to point out a few projects that will enhance our summer maintenance.  We had a three week gap between the Club Championships and the Member/Members.  This allowed us the opportunity to sod the weak areas on #15 green.  With the goal of providing a surface with a more dense root system that will help in recovery during our summer aerifications.  The sub-surface soil conditions will be improved through aggressive cultural practices throughout the summer.   I feel confident that a summer filled with course improvements and Clubhouse Openings will lead to a stellar 2014/2015 Season.  We are just beginning to "spread our wings".  

                                                                                                                                                                        The picture below is one I came across in a trade magazine.  It gives a glimpse of the small percentage of thoughts that run through my mind on a daily basis.  The title is the most fitting.  We will get there.
