With the high winds on Saturday we expected alot of damage and debris. There was only casualty, this ash that was on the right side of #5 fairway. As you can see from the pictures, it had a weak crotch and was beginning to rot at the base of the double stemmed section. This was not a specimen tree by any means. The small, double stemmed trees are very vulnerable to these types of storms. We have been systematically removing them, but still have a few left.
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.
