May 30th: 8th White tee and 18 Sod Update

8th White Tee ready for play

8th White Tee:

The 8th white tee will be reopened for play on Saturday May, 31st. Please enter the tee from the right-side of the tee surround. The left-side portion of the rough sod is still being monitored by the agronomy team. Some portions of this left-side were re-sodded this week and thus those pieces are loose and could shift if walked over.

Please enter the tee from this side

Below are some before and after pictures of the 8th white tee:

18 Cart Path Removal Area:

The area where a large pine tree and a small section of cart path were removed from the right-side of 18 was sodded this week. This area will remain roped off for now and has been marked as ground under repair. If your ball lands within the roped area please lift and drop your ball outside of the marked area. Thankfully the rough sod that was delivered for this project looks to be healthy and in good condition. Below are some before and after pictures:
