Here is a shot of hole 16.  The two bunkers are ready for drainage to be installed.  The fairway will be widened on both sides approaching the green.

 

Bunker update

     Schaefer-Meyer got rained out on Tuesday and could not work in the bunkers yesterday.  So they cut more sod on holes 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6.  Sod has been left in place.  I have sprayed a white line around all areas that was cut.  Play as ground under repair.  Please be careful retrieving your ball on the cut sod.  This allows Schaefer-Meyer to get started on these areas sooner.  They still have a lot of work to get done on holes 10, 11, 13, 14, and 16.  Final shaping and installing bunker drainage still has to be done before they can fill bunkers with sand and lay sod around the bunkers.  Looks like that will not be accomplished until late next week.  Hopefully we can stay dry and they do not lose anymore time.

Fore The Golfer: Frost Delays and Turfgrass Health

Frost delays are a common occurrence this time of year. Here is a short video that the USGA has made to explain what frost can do if you play golf on frosted greens. Please obey all frost delays. You can cause considerable damage to our greens. If the frost delay sign is out that means no practicing on the putting green also. We will open the course as soon as we can.

9 white tee/nursey

 

     We are mowing our new 9 white tee/ nursery green at 3/8'' today.  We will keep front 1/3 at this height and slowly bring down back 2/3 to green height.  this will take several months to accomplish.  Tee looks better every day.

 

 

 

 

Bunker Update

     Bunker crew has been busy last couple of days working on some finish grading and cutting in some drain lines.  They had to quit at noon today because of the rain we got last night and today made it too muddy to work.  They are installing drain exits to get water out of bunker in case of rain.  They still have to come back and shape bottom and edges of bunkers and install drains lines and pea gravel in bottom of bunkers.  They have to get all edges and slopes around bunker to a slope we can mow.  This is Schaefer-Meyers 17th day on the job.

Bunker update

     Holes 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16 and 17 rough are ready for Art's inspection tomorrow.  If he gives the ok they can begin finish grading and start to install new drainage in bunkers.  Here are some new pictures of a few holes .  We are getting real close to having these holes completed.
