New Nursery

 As we draw closer and closer to the start of the Renovation at Swope Memorial there are several inhouse projects that we are breaking ground on. This month was crucial in timing out the expansion of the existing bentgrass nursery. Currently our bentrgass nursery to the left of 12 fairway was roughly 1200sqft. This is considered small and would not be appropriate for the amount of bentgrass we will have post renovation. We therefor expanded the nursery to now be over 3600sqft.

 

During this process we removed existing turf and material surrounded the the existing green. We then created new drainage lines to properly move water across the entirety of the new nursery.

 Additionally we added a new layer of sand/peatmoss mixture to give the new seed a solid foundation to grow into. Lastly we laid pre-plant amendments to properly feet the seed that was soon to follow.

                                                                                    

 As you will see the bentrgass has already begun to germinate and is looking great!
