New Bunkers are holding up well

This morning the golf course had already received 1.5 inches of rain, and this after noon we are at another 1.75 inches with a total of 3.25 inches within a 24 hour period. In the past these bunkers would have been destroyed and a lot of man hours would be needed to repair them. Our plan is to do more of a preventative maintenance depth check tomorrow with just a few areas to repair. All in all the bunkers are doing what they are supposed to be doing, eliminating washouts by as much as 98 percent.

Our short game is in the final stages and we laid the sod on one half and need to finish the other side of the approach. We had almost beat the rain but there is only so much you can do until the ground becomes a slippery mess. We also floated out the teaching green and this was prepped for seeding. We are going to take advantage of this harvested area and seed a blended variety of bent grass and see how they compare to our existing grass.


Over 2 inches of rain at this point

A shoe box size wash out on #9, this is understood
because of the hill side.

The right side has just a little more to go.
