Much needed sand going down today.

My advice for the superintendents who have and will have a "Super Bent" on their greens.
Be patient with the grow-in, lower gradually, don't open too early, light/frequent sanding, don't chase speed too soon.
Make sure you have 4-5 hours of sunlight & good air circulation.

Happy Birthday America! Morning pic vs cooling off some surfaces this evening. Best holiday of the year…hope everyone had an outstanding day!

Busy week preparing for Member/Member this weekend. This is our first event since opening and we are excited to showcase the project.

These roses would not be denied. Also, a look from behind the tenth. Thank you to all those who have sacrificed for our freedoms! 🇺🇸

After our opening weekend the surfaces received a little break and some TLC. Coupled with 1.3” of rain the last 48 hours and they responded well. Out this morning prepping for business a usual!

7 days after seeding vs 7 days until reopening. 007XL has been the star of the show the whole way. Great cut this morning as we look to next weekend.

These snow piles might be around for a bit!

Trimming the sod before we add sand. Today was about training the crew and getting a system. Luckily, we did a small bunker project on the executive course a few winters ago. A few hiccups and we are back in action.

First mow on the putter. Seeded two weeks ago… a few scalps but squirrel damage much worse than the scalps. Overall very please.

[Bridgewater Grounds @TBCgrounds]

Frost yesterday so we covered our putting green. Seeded last Saturday. Covered Thursday and Friday.

[Bridgewater Grounds @TBCgrounds]

Practice putter this evening. Seeded Saturday and showing out. Nursery seeded today so think it’s time to retire the drop seeder for now.

[Bridgewater Grounds @TBCgrounds]

The new practice putting green off the first tee…we can’t wait to see the final outcome.

[Bridgewater Grounds @TBCgrounds]

Mowed bent grass today. Look close and you can see the first mow on our sod at the approach. A bit squishy but about to mow. The goal is to topdress the seams today as well.

Last green seeded and being dimpled…

[Bridgewater Grounds @TBCgrounds]

.3” of rain on Saturday and plenty of heat and sunshine on Sunday. Check out the difference from Saturday.

[Bridgewater Grounds @TBCgrounds]

Seeded with 007XL one week ago. We are off to the races. Seeding the last nine holes today.

[Bridgewater Grounds @TBCgrounds]

The first of many(18) fwy/approach tie-ins. This is the 14th hole with the sod coming from the 12th. Working through process for our team as we prepare the greens for seed.

Beautiful start to the day! Come out and enjoy the 9 hole Executive course
