Driving Range Tee Expansion



Stripping the sod from the existing 4200 square foot driving range tee.




After the top soil is stockpiled, the subsoil  is bulldozed to create a 10,500 square foot practice tee. 


Sub soil base is ready for the tee mix and top soil surrounds.


Building a form for the driving range artificial turf. Compacting crushed concrete and stone dust for a firm and level base for the mat.





Sod rolls being installed


Tee surface completed and being irrigated 


Checking the pitch of the drainage trench with a smart tool


Tee surrounds being sodded with turf type tall fescue



All done....... Great job by the Rossmoor Golf Course Maintenance staff.
