Bunker Trial

We have just a couple touch up things to do at the bunker remodel in number four fairway.  Let us know what you think!!!!  The Bunker Face is made out of 225 yards of sod that was cut here on the property and moved to hole four.  Along with a full day of work its held together out of 2500 sod staples.  Kevin

4000!!!!!!

We just hit 4000 visits on RNK Turf Talk!!!!!!!  Keep coming back.  I hope this provides you the information you want about what we are doing to improve the course for you and our guest at Royal New Kent.  Don't be afraid to ask questions or post positive comments!  Kevin

Progress on Number 4

We have Started a bunker project on #4 Fairway.  We are looking into alternative ideas for the bunker faces here at RNK.  We are creating a "Stacked Sod Bunker Face on the small fairway bunker.  We are going to finish the wall Monday and Tuesday of next week.  We hope to get the same results you see at the Open this week at St. Andrews.  Here is a couple pics of the progress from this week!  Kevin

The Norm

We are into the full mode of the normal golf course maintenance!  Mowing, watering, and trimming!  Working in the heat the last two weeks has been brutal on the awesome staff we have at RNK.  We have been able to do a lot of the handwork like bunkers and weed eating in the cooler hours of the morning and getting on the mowers in the heat of the day! We hope the conditions are improving at RNK!  We feel they are and were looking to see if we can slide in some summer projects to help with some aesthetics around the course with drains and bunkers!  Kevin

Never Ending Battle

We are embarking on a battle that may be never ending!  We have turned our attention to the native areas to help improve the speed and play-ability of RNK.  We are spraying a very good herbicide that is taking out everything except the fescue and broom sedge, leaving behind an awesome golden color native areas that look great against all the green turf. Hope to have the spraying complete by the end of next week! Below are some pics of the results!  Kevin
