Sodding and Sprigging

Today was an exciting day.  We are in the final stages of our rejuvenation.  We began today sodding and sprigging our 5th, 6th and 7th greens. We started this process off by placing TifEagle sod around the apron of the green. Next TifEagle sprigs were laid down by hand. The sprigs are brown in color and look dead, however, they are full of life. Once they are watered in they will start to get their green color back. After the sprigs were laid they cut them in with a small tractor.  The final step will be watering and watching them grow!  The front 9 should be completed by Thursday and all 18 by next week (weather permitting).
