In preparing the golf course for winter there are a number of tasks that we need to complete in a relatively short time. We have applied our winter protection fungicide to greens, tees and fairways, aerified fairways with our slicing machine, top dressed tees and approaches and fertilized greens, tees and fairways with a dormant application. Along with these tasks we have continued our tree management program of pruning and removal. We are scheduled to put down the covers on our greens next week, just before the temperatures begin to fall. I will continue to keep everyone updated on the progress of tasks and jobs on the golf course.
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.
