“We’ve been working things all winter long, ornamental beds, draining and things like that,” Singley said. “When the warm weather started, that’s when we really got after it.”

Kinderlou has some added ornamental beds on hole No. 4 and No. 7 to reduce golfers cutting across for less shots.

“We added a lot of ornamental beds to play the holes the way their supposed to be played,” Singley said. “You can’t take shortcuts. They did some on No. 4, Par-5, the longest hole on the golf course, and they were picking it apart.”

Singley has also added more nitrogen to both to fertilize and green up the course for its Golf Channel debut.

“Last year we put 2 1/2 pounds of nitrogen on the golf course, and we’re on track to put down five pounds this year.”

The added attention of national television has helped put the course on track for another beautiful tournament, with the PGA Tour’s agronomist commenting that Kinderlou is ahead of schedule from last year.

The tournament is less than 20 days away, and the South Georgia Classic is still in need of volunteers, for volunteer and ticket information call the Tournament Office at (229) 242-8455.
