18th Hole Sod Project

The frost delay on Wednesday morning allowed us to lay the new sod on the 18th hole.  We were able to work from the cart path and not disturb the grass while it had frost on it.

I made a short time lapse of the work.  It is not a great angle, but I was not able to walk across the grass to get a better one. In the video you can see the aerator run over the area before the sod goes down.  This is done to make holes for the root to move into and break up the barrier between the sod and native soil.  After the sod is laid, we spread fertilizer, and finally roll the sod to get as much contact with the soil possible.
