5 Green Renewal

Just a quick post of some pictures about the process of installing new sod at 5 left green.  I hope to have some video of the process showing the entire procedure in the future.  In the meantime these will illustrate a little of the process involved removing the old Poa and preparing it for the new bentgrass.

As a note, we used the old poa to create a new greens height nursery left of 7th fairway.

We cut the cut into small sections for removal
