Number three is done, not fully open yet, but we are getting close. Expect to use a mat on the tee box for a week come Friday. The second green will need some more time prior to opening. A comment was made recently about the variety of the bluegrass sod used for the area. As I mentioned before it came to us from Emerald Sod Farm in Commerce City, CO. The bluegrass blend consists of four different varieties that are proven highly successful on research test sites in the Rocky Mountain Region. These varieties provide a natural dark green color, drought tolerance, disease resistance, shade tolerance and density. However, no turfgrass is drought resistant but going forward we strive to find the best performance overall turfgrass.
THANKS for the info, Steve! It was again a delight to be with the "boys" after their men's club round. There were SO MANY POSITIVE comments about the condition of the Vail golf course!!!! Two TOV council persons were there. They both sought me out to say they noticed a HUGE change in the past week.
ReplyDeleteWay to go to you and your crew, Steve!!
