The spring weather has officially arrived. Last week we were spoiled with the summer like temperatures and conditions for work and golf. This week alone we have received just over 2 inches (50 mm) of rain. The golf course is saturated and this moisture has posed some obstacles to get our work completed on #2. We did manage to get the top coat of gravel on the path yesterday, despite the heavy downpours and occasional lightening. We were also able to apply some fertilizer to our greens and finish up some brush chipping from the winter clean up efforts. At this point, golf carts are improbable for golf this weekend. Currently it is still raining, it looks like we will focus our efforts on some inside work today.
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.
