November 22 Update

With the completion of the shaping and gravel install on #14, the pace will start to pick up. Hole 16 is almost complete and they have started to core out the bunkers on #17.  A notable event happened today, the spraying of our first bunkers with the Better Billy Bunker polymer. We were only able to spray two of them today because of the early showers and the sun not making it out today. What is very interesting is how the gravel conditions should be before you can apply the polymer. The gravel must be completely dry for the polymer to bind to the rock. Once this has happened the polymer actually cures faster when it absorbs moisture either from the air or if it were to rain. The main thing is to start out dry for proper adhesion. We will continue tomorrow and into Sunday if necessary. Our sand has arrived and awaiting for the installation on Monday starting on hole #12. The tree screening process on #5 has also taken place. We have two planted and there will be a total of six when we are finished.
