Re-sodding No. 4 green

This week we started the project of re-sodding the 4th green. Over time the plant has thinned out and moss had started to creep into the green. This is due to the lack of sunlight the green receives and the poor air movement in the area. The large evergreen trees behind the green block out the sun completely in winter months and stop air circulation. In the near future we plan to greatly reduce the height of these trees.
We started by removing the old sod from the the green, raking the area and applying an organic fertiliser. We then began to lay the new sod which was taken from the old 11th green on the lakes course. The project will be finished early this week and we hope to have the new green ready for play at the start of the golfing season.
