Range tee over-seeding

This wk my staff did the annual rye grass seeding of the range tee. In order to give the seed as best a chance as possible to establish, I have requested that golfers use the mats for the next two weeks. The rye grass germinates very quickly, but if we start beating it up before the root system has a chance to get established we will lose a lot of the rye grass prematurely. Once the grass is up and we have a chance to mow it a couple times it will be ready for play.
