Holes 5 and 6 update

The new greens are progressing very well. We should be on track for an opening around May 15th. We have mowed them 6 times and are now going to an every other day mowing schedule. We have also hydrojected them 2 times and which aerates and smooths them out. Yesterday day we sanded and aerated them with 1/4 tines and then rolled them again.  The current height of cut is 0.235.  By the summer they should be around 0.140.
The sod has rooted in about 1.5 inches so far.
We topdressed the green first so we would not make ruts on the green
 An added advantage of sanding first is that a good portion of the sand vibrates into the holes which results in much less dragging.
