To say that we have a few projects going on is an understatement. We have started to mulch around the trees which you will notice on #18 and #1 and we anticipate to be finished in a few weeks. Our current major project has to deal with the on going puddle left of the #18 green. The cart path has a severe low in this area and to remedy this we are installing a drain basin to divert the water to drain down the path towards the tees with the help of our friendly gas pipeline employees. Also in this area we have relocated the Japanese Maple to its new location in front of the gold tee on #10. Some outstanding drainage issues that we hope to complete are located in the areas of #12 right of the green and #14 approach. Usually we have already started the bunker preparations for the up coming season but the plant for the sand has been down due the winter snows in West Virginia. I anticipate starting the work next week and will move as quickly as possible to edge and add sand to the appropriate depths. The fairway topdressing is going very well, the holes that have been completed are 11-18. You will notice slight differences as the sand works its way down and the grass begins to grow.
On a topic of course etiquette we have not been open very long and I have noticed that we are not repairing our ball marks. This time of the year it is extremely important because of how wet we tend to be. So please keep an eye out for yours and others that you may see. Stay tuned for more enhancements.
