Overseed

Well it has been quite some time since our last post here on the blog and there was good reason for it. After the decision to overseed fairways was made, I wanted to make sure that we got it up and established before we started talking about it or putting pictures of the golf course up. 

Some of our notes about the process:
  • We dropped seed on November 23rd and 24th. We did 4 holes late Monday afternoon after play and the rest on Tuesday (our closed day)
  • We did all fairways and green surrounds. The only tees that were overseeded were par 3 and the practice facility tees (which were actually done back in September)
  • Our first mowing was on 12-10-15
  • We had mowed 4 times as of 12-21-2015.
  • From 12-21-15 to 1-1-16 we received almost 12" of rain and we did not get to mow anything until 1-6-16 and then 1 time this week because of the cold weather.
  • I can 100% say that the overseed is helping us dry out some from the rain. There is no way that we could have been off the path with out overseed but with the ryegrass out there we were off the path a few days last week and we are currently off with just a few hole restrictions. 
Here are a few pictures:
