The Range tee was cut for the first time yesterday. We seeded the thin areas again where the rain and wind enjoy challenging the placement of our seed. We will try to cut it 3 times per week, lowering the machine each time until it reaches optimum height. This should take about a week and a half to two weeks. Cutting the turf will stimulate growth and accelerate the plants strength. We will re-evaluate the density of the playing surface over the next week, but I am still hoping to open up the tee in mid-May.
The chipping area is at its optimum height with just a little topdressing needed to smooth the surface. The chipping green is still a week away from its first cut and will be a similar process to the tee until it can handle any traffic. I am hoping the short game is ready for play by the end of May
