With the warm temperatures and rain in the weather forecast, we are preparing our greens for a rather quick melt this week. As you will see in the pictures, we have shoveled out some positive surface drainage channels in the snow at the front of our greens. These channels will allow the run off of snow melt and rain to drain the green surface freely. Some areas of the golf course have rather thin snow cover while some other more sheltered and shaded spots still have up to two feet of heavy snow on them. We will continue to monitor the progress of the snow melt until the snow is completely gone.
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.
