#10 Tee Renovation Day 2

A great deal of work was accomplished on our second day of work on the 10th white tee box renovation. Worked continue on the removal of the tie wall the was against the left side of the tee and front this morning.

Guys cutting ties and nails for easier handling from the left side wall of tee and removing remaining sod from tee surface. Some of the zoysia was laid in the water line repair behind 18 green






Front tie wall torn down. Wall of dirt is almost 5' tall at this point.



Irrigation head and swing joint hanging from original surface of old tee. Head will have to be trenched onto new tee to keep proper spacing of irrigation heads.





Skip Fierro beginning to dig out upper level of tee. We are removing approximately 2' of soil from existing tee surface to lower overall level of tee.





Dump truck unloading soil from #10 white tee to new tee which will step down from existing blue tee. Tee will be located in front of blue tee and will stop approximately 10-12' before main drive into the club. We are going to soften the slope on the existing blue tee which will allow mowers to more easily get around the tee without damaging turf.





Skip using loader/backhoe to grade from front of tee to the back of the tee. Tee will have slight back to front slope because the land falls off to the front and will be drained to the right of the picture with laser leveling equipment


Beginning to see the tee forming from back to front. We still have dirt to remove from the left side walk off area of the tee and a large amount of dirt from the right side of the tee. We need to remove some dirt to the back of the old tee to soften the slope and also help in moving water around the tee. It appears that a majority of the water will be moved around the right corner of the tee with some shaping of the existing grade. This is helpful to members so that the walk on and off area is dry.




As all projects go, this is a work in progress. We will keep you updated as work continues to move forward.
