Day 2: 18 Green Renovation

We had great weather today and made some major progress.  Day 2 of our renovation of 18 green involved staking out measurements for the new lower level, removing the rootzone mix on the lower level, and adding native soil to bring the front of the green to its new subgrade.  The rootzone mix is being stored near the cart storage barn until we can add it back to the new subgrade.  As with saving the existing sod, reusing this soil mix ensures that 18's rootzone will be consistent with the other 17 greens on the course.

Our plans tomorrow include compacting the new subgrade material to its final measurement and adding the rootzone mix back to the lower level.  Work will also be done on feathering out the new transitions within the design plans and rototilling the upper rootzone mix to final specifications.
