Summary:
MOUNT OLIVE -- Tree-lined Bermuda grass fairways and small Bermuda greens make Southern Wayne Country Club's picturesque golf course unique.But the 6,200-yard course drew the ire of competitors during the final round of this year's Wayne County Men's Amateur.Southern Wayne golf pro Howard Hunt had heard the complaints many times.He also knew that to remain competitive with in-county courses Walnut Creek and Lane Tree, renovations were desperately needed.Hunt and course superintendent Scott Heath, a native of Mount Olive, discussed tearing up the greens and re-sprigging them with a better Bermuda grass.Coastal Turf brought in its own crew that hand-sprigged the new Champion Tifdwarf Bermuda grass onto the green."We're just trying to offer a better product through the golfing membership at Southern Wayne as well as area golfers who would like to come play," said Hunt."This renovation should allow us to have a really nice facility over the next few years.Verticutting and topdressing are needed to balance the aggressiveness of Tifdwarf, but its mat is the perfect base for overseeded winter grasses.
