On Friday, August 8th we will be applying a light dusting of sand to our greens. This application will help to firm up and smooth the surface that has been softened by the recent rains. Once the sand dries we will matt it in with a cocoa fiber matt to help knock it down into the canopy. During this task there is virtually no disturbance to ball roll or play.
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.
