2013 Golf season is under way

What a difference between seasons!  2012 started out with record high temperatures, while 2013 brings back memories of a "normal spring".  The cooler spring has allowed us to catch up on extra projects instead of scrambling around to get areas mowed.  Many projects were completed during the winter, most noticeably the expansion of the rough between holes 9 and 10 along with the areas between 13 and 15.  These areas are such popular landing zones, as they are immediately adjacent to the right sides of the involved fairways.  The project was started during the fall fairway aertion of 2012, using the fairway plugs as our "soil" for the expansion.  The existing soil was terrible, containing large stones, gravel, sand and stumps.  The below photos show our progress:
