Hole # 2 and #4 are completed

Schaefer-Meyer sodded # 2 and # 4 today.  We are down to # 5 and # 6 to complete.  My staff and I were working hard to get the Irrigation put back together on # 6.  Once it is back together Schaefer-Meyer will finish grade and sod it.  Hopefully the rain does not pile up on us tonight and we can finish # 6 by Thursday.  Here are some pictures of # 2.  I did not get a chance to get down to # 4 and get any picture today.  I will post them later.

# 6 Construction

     Here is aerial view of the new construction on hole # 6.  As you can see this hole has completely changed.

 Right bunker has been moved back about 20 yards.

The left bunker has moved back and to the right.  Approach will now be coming up right side of green.

# 1 Bunker is completed

     Schaefer-Meyer sodded the bunker on # 1 today.  The new bunkers is a huge improvement  You can actually see the bunker from 150 yards away from green. That only leaves bunkers on holes 2, 4, 5, and 6 to finish.  We still have a little work to do around some Irrigation heads.  Dave Dobsch poured another section of cart path on # 9.  Schaefer-Meyer also was back filling the path on # 10.  We hope to have # 10 cart path open by Friday.  Here is pictures of # 1.

New Construction

     It has been awhile since my last post.  We have been extremely busy on the course.  The warm temperatures and no moisture has forced me to turn on the irrigation system one month a head of schedule.  I have been in this business for 31 years and I have never pressurized my Irrigation system in February.  With all the new sod we had no choice.
     Schaefer Meyer has been busy.  We have # 1 ready for sod.  # 2 is shaped and ready for the liner.  It will be ready for sod by Wednesday.  # 4 and #5 have been shaped and edged.  # 6 is roughed in.  Art Schaupeter will be here tomorrow to give final approval or changes on holes 2, 4, 5 and 6. 
     Dave Dobsch has been busy pouring the new cart paths on # 9 and 10.  He has completed the new path with drains on # 10. He started pouring # 9 today.  It will take him the rest of the week to finish #9.
     You could not have asked for better weather.  I am optimistic that Schaefer Meyer will be done by end of next week barring any unforeseen problems or weather delays.  The new changes are really looking good.  If you have not been out for awhile it would be worth your time to come and take a look.  Here are a few pictures of the progress.

New Construction

     Please play all new construction as Ground Under Repair until further notice .  The new sod is not established yet.  We have a numerous places the sod has been torn up because people are playing shots off the sod.  Please retrieve your ball and drop no closer to hole.  When you retrieve your ball please do not walk down slopes walk around slopes and retrieve your ball on the low side if at all possible.  I know this is a inconvenience but you must give this new construction time to heal.   Thanks you for your cooperation.

# 1 bunker

     The right bunker on # 1 is coming along.  Its has been shaped and edged.  Schaefer-Meyer is  done with it just waiting for Art Schaupeter to come and approve it.  If he approves it we can install drain lines,  liner, sand and sod.
