Bunker update

     Today Schaefer-Meyer was busy taking the old drains out of 2, 5, and 6 bunkers.  Ground is still frozen.  They can't do any shaping until frost is out of the ground.  When you have frozen soil you cannot shape, the soil comes out in slabs.  With 8 inch thick slabs you cannot fill or do any shaping.  If you have a twitter account you can follow the construction progress there also.  My twitter account is @ed_wachter   I usually post where Schaefer-Meyer is working  each morning.

Bunker update

     Holes 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, and most of 16 are done.  Schaefer-Meyer sodded the rest of the back nine holes and the grass area of # 8 green.  We still need a little sod on the fairway bunker on # 16 and more sod on # 17 rough.  Bunkers look really good here are a few pictures of 8, 11, 13, and 14.
