On Monday it had rained all day and only accumulating about 1/2 inch of rain. Normally we would be upset because we knew we had to repair bunkers after even the lightest amount of rain the following day. I can not even describe how that feels knowing that what we had planned for the next day was tossed in the trash and every body was pitching sand. Good bye horrible bunkers, you wont be missed!
Now for some projects, we cleaned up the front entrance by removing some plants and replacing with rough grass and harvested some tall grass for a back drop that will hide the bag drop. At this point now you can see the Japanese maple. The driving range top two tees were aerified before the rain and that puts us on schedule to roll into our rough aerification. Our #2 blue/white tee extension is coming along just fine. We did find out something very interesting, as we were looking for the outfall drainage pipe to connect to we were amazed to find that it did not exist. Yes, that means the tee drainage was never installed properly and would not drain.
On hole 6 the team has already made a big dent in the front green side bunker and removing the right side bunker. This bunker that is being removed is being pushed closer to the tee and placed on the right side of the fairway. Of course nothing is never that easy and we found that a 2 inch pipe for the fairway heads will have to be rerouted along with reconnecting 15 wires. Then it was noted that our 4 inch mainline needed to be moved to accommodate the new bunker layout. Tomorrow we will lay the new 4 inch pipe to get that back online then lay a new 2 inch section in the coming days.

to identify each one and assigning it a number. All 15 wires
were labeled so that when we put it back together you
just match them up. Easy Peasy! |
