The driving range tee is coming along nicely and should be all ready to go in time for May 1st, which is our target for moving off of the mat and onto the grass tee.
Although the tee has been mowed a couple times and appears green and ready to go, the grass plants need the next week and a half to continue growing and filling in. Once the tee is open, we constantly rotate the location of hitting stations to ensure that we utilize as much of the tee as possible before we inch closer to the front of the tee. This buys us just enough time to reseed and establish new turf in worn areas before we need to start all over again.
We ask that all of our patrons try to keep a tight divot pattern in their hitting station whenever possible. A consistent patch like this is much easier to reestablish and is a much better use of the tee surface than the sporadic, inconsistent one pictured below. Though it appears to be picked clean, it is far more efficient to reseed, topdress and smooth this type of divot pattern than the latter.
