This Sunday at 4pm we will begin our heavy topdressing and solid tine aerification on greens (no cores). We are going to start on the 1st and work our way through to the 18th. In the past two years we were able to get the front 9 finished on the Sunday evening shift. The remaining holes will be done on Monday. With good weather and cooperative equipment we should be able to complete the same amount of acreage this year. During this process the pins will be placed in the approaches, again until the green is completed. We are scheduled to aerify tees on Tuesday, the tees will be core aerified, matted, blown and cleaned up in 1 day. We will then follow up on Wednesday with a heavy topdressing on tees. As always these tasks are weather dependent/permitting.
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.
