I am sure that you have noticed we have a new fresh look to our blog. I hope that our members will continue to utilize this form of communication throughout this season. As we work through the winter I will be posting different topics pertaining to our department. Topics like weather trends, professional developement and tasks that are completed in the shop will be presented. With the warming trend that we recently went through we continued to have snow cover (for the majority) which is good for the turfgrass. We do have some ice formation on fairways and tees but nothing to speak of on our greens. We will continue to monitor and evaluate conditions throughout the rest of the winter.
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.
