Re-Sodding of Tees

Our tee sodding in the Summer of 2009 started with #2 White and Red Tees. Because of the stress that golfers impose on a golf course, from time to time grass replacement is necessary. Some other tees that were re-sodded in 2009 include....



#9 Red Tee



#11 Red Tee



#12 Red Tee



#15 White/Blue

#17 Tee Renovation

Graded and leveled tee on #17. Picture from the front of tee back toward #16 green. Notice the shade on the back left of tee. The tree that creates this shade will be removed to allow more sun since we are converting the tee from a cool season grass to a warm season grass-zoysia-which needs more sun.

#12 Tee Renovation

The first step the this renovation was removal of old sod and leveling of tee.




Jordan, Jordan, and Dan admire zoysia sod during installation. A starter fertilizer was applied to tee prior to laying of sod




In the foreground is the Kubota tractor used for rolling out the 30 yard zoysia rolls. The rolls are picked up then rolled out backwards.




Sod is immediately drenched in and kept closed until sod has tacked down. In this instance tee was sodded in the middle of August and was open by the first week of September.
