The 6th Hole is Complete

As you may be aware this past Friday we completed the sodding phase for #6. The green surface itself is finished and all of the irrigation has been rerouted to accommodate the new extended shape.  The rough around the green had been graded and we laid the last truck on that hole Friday afternoon in preparation for the thunder storm. We will keep this as a temporary pin in the fairway for as long as we can, at least a week until the grass begins to root into the soil. At that point the hole will be open with the exception of the new green section. I would like to keep traffic off of this area until Memorial Weekend.

The bunker on #1 fairway has half a truck left and then that process is done. Our last effort will be focused at the short game and we plan on getting that ready for sod very soon.

It was a team effort to get this done.

A view from the hill, you can really see the difference.
