The west and north walls have been poured

We were fortunate to have a warm couple of days between the cold Arctic blasts allowing us to get the final 2 walls poured.  After the forms are stripped on Monday or Tuesday we will be ready to set the roof panels.

East & South Walls Poured

The footings were poured early last week and  Friday the south and east walls were poured.

Cart Bunker Update

The tee has been moved out of the way and the site is ready for the surveyor to come and stake out the building foot print. The surveyor is scheduled for Monday morning.

Cart Bunker Started

We have started the excavation for the new cart bunker. They have moved approximately 75% of the old #1 tee and should be done moving the remainder by tomorrow afternoon.

Winter project

We have been busy working on the installation of the new septic system because our old system was failing after 45 years of service? The septic field is complete and we are now installing the tanks. The new system will serve the club for many years to come.

Change Of Seasons

After a long and stress filled season this is a sight that brings a sense of calm, at least temporarily.  We have completed winterizing the course irrigation system by draining all the water from the piping and then blowing any remaining water out through the sprinkler heads with compressed air.  For me this signifies the golf season has officially come to an end.

The level of urgency is certainly lower for the winter months but we do stay busy throughout the season.  Last week we finished the final chemical application to the greens and tees to protect them from the harsh winter weather. 

We are currently trimming the dead wood out of the Oak trees and have many other projects to complete before the snow flies.

Greens Are Progressing

We have seen continued growth on the new greens and are mowing every 2-3 days despite the cold weather.  All of the areas that came in thinner than the majority of the greens are filling in and the patches are continually getting smaller.  We went back and re-seeded the thin spots two weeks after the original seeding and it has helped tremendously.  In the photos you can see the younger seedlings filling in the voids.
