Each Fall the tees on the Par 3s are overseeded with ryegrass to provide turf throughout the winter months. In the Spring, when temperatures warm up ideally the ryegrass will "fade away" and the Bermuda will replace it. Because this Spring was so long and cooler than most the ryegrass thrived longer than usual. When typical Summer temps hit all at once the ryegrass checked out quickly leaving thin turf on holes 11 and 13. To promote fast recovery, we have aerified all Par 3 tees and fertilized the tees on all 18 holes. This combined with the recent 2" of rain have generated a lot of growth and tees should all be good in another week.
