Bunker work and healing greens.

Work continued this week on the bunkers and we have been able to make a lot of progress. The bunkers were sprayed with the Better Billy Bunker polymer and we have started adding sand and sod to the bunkers at number 1 fairway. Tomorrow we will continue sodding on the first hole and finish up on number two and three early next week. Not only do they look good but, they are going to hold up much better to rain events and there won't ponds in the new bunkers! It should save us a lot of labor and you a lot of headache after it rains.

Finished bunkers.












While we're working on number one we're also extending the culvert at the beginning of the fairway so that, instead of a creek being in front of the first fairway bunker, it will just be grass. This should not only improve sight lines but also help play-ability.

Digging down for the new pipe.










Installing new pipe. We will back fill this, grade and seed so that it is a smooth playing surface.











The warm weather has also helped to heal greens in after last week's aerification. We sprayed fertilizer on them twice and the great weather has them almost completely filled in. I'd imagine you won't even know we did anything by early next week.

We'll keep plugging along and we appreciate your patience as we finish up!
