    Restoring an abandoned golf course

Transcript

Storing rank abandoned golf course. The snow is all melted. We are officially back to work. This is the plan for this season. Hole Number one, here's what will be the green for Hole Number 1. Talk about what my plan is. Turn essentially just a overgrown field back into fairways. Scalp them down, ethatch it, aerate, overseed Kentucky bluegrass, fertilize. We're gonna water from the tier, get a roller in here. Pretty sweet tier box for Hole Number 2 right on the tier. Fairway going right up to those shrubs. I mean, I've been watching YouTube. Seems like that's a solid plan. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know in the comments. Here's where the old green sat for this hole. I'd like to expand it, make it pretty big. Hole number three would be a dog leg right. Here's where the old green sat. Make it a little bit bigger. Redo this better, protecting the green. We get three holes done, well maintained, then I'll be pumped. And then over on the rank.
