Golfinc sums things up pretty well. Weather has been a huge factor in Greensboro this winter, two ice storms and 35% more rainfall than normal. (By the way, we are thinking about moonlighting as a drought busting business. If anyone lives in an area that needs rain, please consider using Love Golf Design for your next construction project)
. To make things even more difficult, it seems the rain has come every 4-7 days, not all at once. So just about every time things would get dry enough to work another storm would come through and cause delays. I believe we were only able to work 14 days in January and February combined.
With all that said, we have seeded the greens within the time frame we had originally scheduled. We would like to thank the contractors, Course Doctors and Robinson Brothers Golf, for their patience and hard work over the winter to get this accomplished. Also, the ownership of Forest Oaks and the superintendent, Dan Winters, have provided great assistance throughout the process to get us where we are now. The next big step will be regrassing the course (tees, fairways, rough) which will begin at the end of the month. Then it's up to mother nature and the PGA Tour to decide about this years event.
As far as the work we have done to the course: all the greens have been completely redesigned and I believe two new greensites have been created, all tees have been redesigned and rebuilt, new bunkers and bunker strategy, and some reshaping of fairways, especially #13 in the first landing area.
