Day 2 Bunker Renovation Project

Kye Goalby's work was delayed today because of the right from last night.  We have had a great day of drying and he plan's to begin on Wednesday.  We expect him to complete 16 on Wednesday and will move on to #9 on Thursday.  Rain is in the forecast for Friday but we hope it will hold off until his work is completed.  We expect to begin installation after he completes his first bunker sometime tomorrow and hope to complete #16 on Thursday including the sod work if all goes well.  We possibly will remove sod and sand from another hole on Friday but this is all weather dependent.
Skip removing sand from the left side bunkers.  Jason receives the material from Skip and then dumps into  the two dump trucks we are using on the project.  Tom is waiting to haul away the material.  Some of the spoils are being used to build a mound at the top of the long range to help keep the long drivers golf balls from going into the brush and trees.  We will smooth the mounds and expect the bermuda grass to over-run the new mound.

Skip exposing an irrigation line that must be removed because the head is on top of a mound on the back right corner of the green.  Once Kye does the shaping, we will trench the line back in place.

Looking from the back right corner of the green bunker complex.  Sand has been removed  and waiting for Kye's shaping work on Thursday.


You will begin to notice piles of sand on the short range target area.  We will be establishing  three target greens on the short range to give a more realistic practice area.  We tentatively plan to establish greens at about 35 yards, 70 yards and around 100 yards.
