Cartpath entrance on #2. . .

Here is a shot of the cartpath entrance on the second hole. Most of the cartpath entrance's on the course take a beating based on the amount of cart traffic we get and also based on the fact that the rough is comprised of fine fescue. Fine fescue is an excellent shade grass but it does not like traffic or heat at all. When you put the two together, it doesn't take long to lose areas of the rough. We used the rodadairon to till the area up and then we seeded it with a bluegrass/periennial ryegrass mix. These two grasses are both traffic tolerant. The bluegrass is a lot more drought tolerant than ryegrass.

Here is what it looks like now from the opposite side:

As you can see(through my shadow) it has filled in quite nicely. Through the use of traffic blocks and signs, we will be able to keep it healthy in the Summer.
