Luckily for us the weather cooperated for our aerification closure days. The members of our department worked very hard and very long during the closure to complete the scheduled aerification and clean up. During those days we were able to aerify, remove the cores, verti-cut, topdress and fertilize all of our greens. We also aerified our fairways along with verti-cutting some aswell. All of the cleanup was done during the closure (although there is a few lingering remnants here and there). Completing this much work would be impossible if were not for the closure. We were fortunate enough to have the proper equipment to complete the job through rentals and loaners from a neighbouring club.
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.
