Range

Here is a pic of the hole we are digging at the range to produce clean fill. That white pipe on the left is about 3' down...that tells you how deep that hole is, about 30'. We will fill this with the sod and gravel fill that isn't an ideal base for the tee.

Progress

The greens are starting to thicken up, the bunkers are starting to get some sand and the range is well under way. Everything is looking on schedule at this point.

Bunkers

The bunker on 16 is ready for drainage and liner tomorrow. The slopes have all been fixed on 16 with fill to eliminate the deep sand on the slopes. They will haul all the dirt they dig out from the drainage ditches to 17 to reuse on the slopes on that bunker. This process will continue around the course until all the bunkers are done (greenside bunkers).

Mowing greens

We mowed a couple of the thicker greens today for the first time. It is important it mow the new grass as soon as possible so you can start training the grass to move horizontally versus vertically.

River brush

Working on cutting down all the native on the river. We have to go through with the brush cutter on the tractor then come in and get all the tough to get areas by hand.

16 green

Here is a picture of the back right of number 16 green. There were some areas right along the sod line that got contaminated with material from outside the green during one of our many downpours since we mixed this green. I wanted to see how they would come in before making the decision to dig the top inch out in these areas, install new mix, tamp and re-seed. Any of these areas that have any chance of being a problem in the future I want to get fixed before we have full grass coverage.

Range

Starting range work today.
