At this point everyone on the staff is a little tired of the snow accumulations and how muddy and wet it our jobs have been. Our greens aerification update is as follows, we have finished the back nine greens and have started the process on holes 9,4,5 with cores laying out on our practice greens from this morning. Tomorrow our goal is to get as much done as possible with an end goal of completing all of them by Friday afternoon.
Our pond is filling back up slowly but surely and I am looking to schedule the pump station start up technician next week and charge the lines on the golf course. We also have what I thought to be an easy drainage project but when you throw in angles to work from and rain it makes for a mess. It really all stemmed from water seeping into the cinder blocks that wrap the pump house. This created a permanent lagoon inside and all be darned if we are going to let that happen to our new baby. Our objective is to tar the outside wall/seal the inside wall, insert drainage pipe and fill gravel all the way to the top of the wall to move that water as quickly as possible. This fix although nasty will prevent this from happening again.
The bunker crew returned today to add sand on #18 and this hole is now complete. We are looking to have #9 and if possible #10 completed by the end of the week depending on how they can get around with out causing a mess.

Phase two of the drainage is sealing off the inside wall
with drylock primer which is a moisture barrier. |

This is why we are doing all of these details, you
have to protect the investment. |
