Although the weather these last couple of days has not been great, the crew has made tremendous progress. The 12th hole has been completed. The bunkers have sand in them and all the sod has been laid. The greens complex on 16 has been completed as well. Sand has been placed in the fairway bunkers on the left side of 16. The right hand bunker will be filled tomorrow and sod will be placed around the bunker edge to protect it in case we have rain over the weekend.
Right now, 5 and 17 are in a state of flux. By the end of tomorrow, all of the construction will be completed on number 5. All the bunkers have been shaped and drainage is installed. The fairway will be extended up the left side near the green. The old bunker in the back left has been deleted and some subtle mounds have been added. The old fairway bunker has also been removed and filled with the spoils from the other bunkers being constructed. Now this hole will await sand and sod next week.

The green side bunkers on 17 are starting to take shape. Dirt is being moved around, areas are being regraded, and the topsoil is being stockpiled. The topsoil is saved to use later in the area that was disturbed by the machines but will not be bunker.

This weekend, the crew will be taking a well deserved couple of days off to go home and visit their families. With the weather forecast calling for warmer temperatures, I would like to remind everyone to please stay off of the newly sodded area, they will play as ground under repair.
