Old 8 Green Expansion and an Update on 9

On Monday we stripped the collar and placed it on pallets.

Monday also started the reshaping of the bunkers and removing and hauling of material for the expansion.

The small bunker that was in the 1952 aerial photo was re-established.

The soil was hauled out with my staff and three workmans.

This picture shows the new greens mix that was added to the expansion.  Compacting, leveling and new irrigation pipe and heads will be added this week.

Irrigation heads are being removed on all of 9.

The 9th hole is now closed for renovation.  This is the site of the future 9th green.  The orange fence around our oaks and maples help protect them from damage during the upcoming pool complex and 9th green construction.

Another picture of 9 looking south.  The new green will sit on the south side of that oak tree.
