Needless to say the rain events of the past 2 months have been troublesome for the management of the golf course and grounds. As mentioned in a previous post, we are very behind on our spring tasks and jobs. To date we have yet to touch up our bunkers with new sand. Shifting and adding new sand with the consistent rains to date makes little sense. With the forecast looking better, we will be looking at some bunker work in the next week or so. Mowing has been sporadic. The rough is very thick and lush, our mowing has been haltered by saturated soils. We have yet to have a solid week of our regular mowing routine in all playable areas. Let's hope for a great June!!
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.
