I am sure that most of our members have noticed some renovations to the "creek" on #7. The area has been completely overhauled with the creek now running entirely across the hole. We have designed a system to circulate the water down and through the creek. One of the most interesting components of the renovation is the new bridge. The lumber on the bridge was milled from a downed tree here on our property. This red oak is very solid and very durable. The cost savings were huge and the bridge fits in very well. Our department's goal is to become as self sufficient as possible, regarding projects, equipment and utilizing our own property's resources, when available. This bridge project shows that this goal is attainable. We are planning on putting the finishing touches on this area this weekend and sodding next week.
The past few days we have been able to make great strides on the bunker project on #17. All three of the new bunkers have been shaped and drained. Tuesday morning Ian Andrew our consulting golf course architect, will be painting the final contours in the bunkers. We will then install the bunker boards and back fill with topsoil to the new edges. Once the edges are established we will add the new sand and await sod. The rain and snow that we recieved over the last couple of days has had little effect on the rough shaping process. We are hoping for some drier days to complete the fine tuning and sod prepping.
