Sprigging continues

 We are down to our last hole to grass.  Palmetto 8 was sprigged this week, leaving only Palmetto 7 to grass.  We hope to complete number 7 by end of next week, but the tropics are not looking good.  We will be taking some preventative steps to protect the turf we have on the ground ahead of the forecasted rain.  Sod work down the left edge of Palmetto 7 will also be completed by end of the week to wrap the bunkers and cover up the slopes between the fairway and the cart path.

Greens sprigs are starting to really fill in.  Routine mowing and spraying is ongoing and we plan to begin taking heights down some to help push lateral growth.  We will continue weekly fertlity applications and topdressing to encourage growth.  We are thrilled with the state of all the greens on Palmetto as we move into August.
