Half Done!

Sorry that it has been awhile since my last update. We have been very busy with the good weather the past two weeks. A lot has been accomplished that I want to update you on.

1. #15 Green has been completed. It was sodded last Friday and Saturday. We have recaptured quite a bit of putting surface on this green which should add to some interesting playing options. It is especially interesting on the left side of the green where it now brings the bunkers more into play.
2. #14 Green has also been completed. This green was sodded yesterday, Wednesday the 26th. This marks our half-way done point for the greens. Holes 14-18 are completed and now growing in.
3. Kris' crew is now working on #2 Green and #3 Tee. We have moved over to this portion of the golf course for a few reasons. The main reason is for irrigation purposes. After 2 green and 3 tee are completed, we will move back over to the back 9 greens with holes 10-13 still remaining.
 Building the new back tee on #3.
4. As you can see Kris' crew has been quite busy. The irrigation crew has also made great progress since the last time I posted. Holes 13-18 have been completed along with 10. They will be finished with hole 2 by tomorrow. That means they have 8 holes completed since we started on September 19! Below is a picture of the irrigation work on 10.
5. Our crew has completed replacing all of the sand in the bunkers. Hopefully, next year everybody will enjoy the same sand in all of the bunkers and a more consistent playing surface. We have begun covering all of the bunkers to ensure that our investment does not blow out during the winter months!
 6. In anticipation of the impending cold weather the next few days, the golf maintenance staff covered the newly sodded greens today. Covering the greens will help to keep soil temperatures up which will help the greens to root in cold weather.
I apologize for having not posted in a while, but as you can see, we have all been extremely busy. We tried to take advantage of the wonderful fall weather that we have had the last few weeks.
