Bobcat update

As we prepare the Bobcat golf course for re-opening on Tuesday June 3, 2014, we have begun to wrap up our planned summer projects scheduled for this closure.  We have installed 5 new drain systems on #6 and #9 fairways that has included the following process:  strip old sod, amend existing hardpan soil by tilling 50 tons (total for all 5 drains) of coarse sand in with native soil, installation of 700 linear feet of 4" subsurface drainage, and re-sod on top of newly drained area.  In fact, during the installation of the final drain system on #6 fairway, we discovered and removed several boulders (below) that were just a couple inches below the surface.  No wonder the turf struggled growing on boulders!!!
