Update

     It has been few weeks since my last post.  We have been busy.  We installed drainage on 14 and 17 greens.  Now if you hit your ball long on these two holes you will be able to find your ball.  It should not plug.  We also fixed a drain below 14 green.  Roots clogged up  the drain and it was running down into 13 fairway.  #13 forward tee has been sodded with Bluegrass.  This tee stays too wet and does not get enough sunlight to grow Zoysia grass.  It was a little late to be sodding cool season grass but it should be ok.  Getting it open for play will take a little longer than if it was sodded in the spring or fall.  I hope we can have it open by next week.  We were able to sod the green surround on #10.  We ordered some Zoysia grass and fixed some areas in fairways that was thinning or dead.  We fixed aras on 15, 17 and 18 fairways.  While we had the Track hoe we went down to 12 rough and dug out our catch basin that were full of silt.  Below are a few pictures of some of the work we completed.  These projects took 3 long days to complete.  My staff did an outstanding job.
