Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

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.

Bunker update

     Sorry for the delay in updating my blog.  Here what has happen in the past 2 weeks.  All bunker liners have been installed.  Bunker sand was installed on holes 10, 11, and 16.  Drainage  for 9 and 18 rough was installed.  We have hole 10 completed and 16 almost done.  Next week we will finish holes 11, 13, 14 and 16.  Here are a few pictures.
