The grow-in for our new Champion green in section 16 is moving along nicely. This green was planted on Thursday June 6. It will be six weeks since planting today. I estimate coverage at 80-90%. The following sequence of pictures shows the steady growth of this new green.

The reconstruction of our new chipping green culminated on June 26, 2013 with the sprigging of this green with Miniverde ultradwarf bermuda grass and the sodding of the features with Celebration bermuda grass. A second load of sod was installed on July 10. This project was a team effort from the Forest Creek golf maintenance staff in which dirt moving, feature shaping, irrigation installation, and grassing were all done" in house". We feel that this is a significant improvement to the Forest Creek practice facilities. Our plan continues to be to open this area back up for practice around Labor day.
