Sodding Shapes

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice.

It was brought up at the meeting with the summer members of why exactly we put the sod in irregular shapes.  This was a very good question:
There reason mainly for choosing these shapes was money.  There hasn't been funds for sod work or repair in the summer for the past three years; however, this year we were able to glean the funds thanks to an insurance settlement with Sysco since their truck damaged an area at the club house. Since we did some of the work in-house thus the savings from the settlement was used in sod repair.  The funds were very limited so we choose the worst of the worst areas to receive repair and allowed the other areas to fill in naturally.

In an ideal world and time we would have removed larger areas in more regular shapes but this summer was not one of those ideal times.
