Churchill Greens Renovation Update
The renovation of Churchill Greens Executive Golf Course is moving along nicely. The greens were sprigged last week with TifEagle Bermuda grass. Additionally, the tee tops are being laser leveled before sod installation and the bunkers are being filled with new G-angle bunker sand. Sprigs are vegetative stems of the Bermuda grass that are planted on the new green surface and sliced into the ground mechanically by a tractor with discs. This type of Bermuda grass cannot be seeded like different cool season grasses are. The sprigs will be continually watered and fertilized and will take about 12 weeks to grow to a full mature stand of grass for the putting surface.
With all the play on the Executive Golf Courses, the tees receive a lot of divots and surface compaction leaving the tee uneven or "crowned" over time. During the renovations, the tees are laser leveled to smooth them out. A slight one percent grade not visible by the eye is established to help with water runoff. New G-Angel bunker sand is being installed into the bunkers. This sand has a larger particle size to improve drainage and is cut into angular shape to "lock" into the bunker faces and decrease the washout expectancy.
