The Other Nine

This past week some work in the other nine has started. Not much, but it's a move in the right direction. So the architects can see things a little better, we have started bush hogging the corridors that were previously cleared. There is a lot of tall grass, weeds and even a few rogue pine trees that have started to come up. We need to cut them down so that they don't get too out of hand. The next step is to start clearing the wetland crossings. This had not been done before because of the fear of erosion. Once all of this is done, the architects will really be able to see what they have to work with on each hole. I have taken a few pictures to give you an idea of what everything looks like once it's mowed down.

As for the exsiting ten holes, we are looking very good. It's a great time to come and play. I will keep everyone up to date on everything as we move along. Have a great week!

Busy week and congrats!

We have had a very busy week this week. On Monday, we started removing some dead and unsafe trees from behind #7 green. This will also help us get quite a bit more sunlight on that green as well. There were five trees removed from #7 tee as well. These trees all hung over the tee boxes and were killing the turf on them. This should be a much better year for those tee boxes.

There were also two pallets of bentgrass sod put down on three greens. We repaired areas on #5 and #7. Also, the back of what will be #1 has been repaired. All of the areas on that green that have had plugs removed in the past have now been fixed and there is 100% coverage on #1.

 

 

Finally, the most exciting part of the week! I would like to welcome Holden Levi into the world. Congratulations to Chad and his wife Cari! They had a very handsome little boy on Wednesday, May 1, 2013!!! Everybody is happy, healthy and should be going home today. I am sure Lucas and Easton are both very excited to have their new little brother home to play with! If you see Chad when he gets back to work, make sure you congratulate him. He also could use another Monster energy drink!!

 

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Come play some golf!
