Even though I haven't updated lately does not mean things haven't been happening. We started off the week with rain days Monday and half of Tuesday. The crew hit the road running with continuing work on 17 and starting on #9. They will wrap up most of the construction on 17 this weekend. As I type they are installing the drainage and finishing the floors to the green side bunkers. This afternoon they will move to the approach bunker and install drainage and finish the floor. When #17 is wrapped up they will move to finish #9 and begin on #18.

On #9 the 5 new bunkers have been rough shaped. There are 3 green side and 2 in the fairway. The left hand fairway bunker has the unique reverse back to front feature that will give all the shots a down hill lie. The right side fairway bunker is small but the back side was built with a down hill slope to give the ball and extra kick towards the green to reward the player who challenges it and succeeds.

One cool thing we did during this project was set up a time lapse camera that takes pictures every 5 minuets on some of the holes. The first couple of hole we were still trying to figure out exactly how to get it to work. We did manage to catch a majority of the work on the left side of #12.
Yesterday the last hole, #18, was laid out and the new tee on #16 was staked. This will wrap up the construction for the spring. As of right now, the guys are on schedule and will be wrapping up all the work for the spring in the next 2 weeks or so, weather permitting.
