Let's Get It Started, Day 1 Bunker Renovation Project

Let's Get It  Started!   The work went well today between some light showers.  A good down burst occurred after the staff had left for the day and completed their work.  I will attempt to post a tentative schedule at the beginning of each week and will also have it posted on the Echo Brief.

This weeks tentative bunker restoration schedule.

9/21-9/22 Friday/Saturday

Staff begins installation of new #9 bunkers

Staff removes sod/sand #8

Kye begin work #18

#16 left bunker with the dye used to mark the spray pattern of the RoundUp.  We will make this spary rather obvious.  We will water it after about 24 hours or so to help reduce the chance that foot traffic can track it onto the greens.  

#16 left side with the staff using the sod cutter to remove the sod around the green.

Same thing around the right bunker on #16.  The staff pushed the sod into the bunker which makes it  easier to use a skid steer to scoop it up and haul it out.

The skid steer in the left bunker on #16.  Sand was almost 2' deep.  We used our backhoe loader  on the right side which helps to load it into the dump truck.

An older irrigation line running under the right bunker on #16.  We have to dig out the line and cut it and place a cap on it outside the bunker.  We assume it is still live.

#16 complex cleaned and prepped, waiting for Kye Goalby to begin his work on Tuesday.

Tractor being used on #9 green to push sod into piles in preparation to be removed.

#9 green with the sod removed around all the bunker and the back of the surround.  Sand will be removed on Tuesday.  I would expect Kye to begin work on Wednesday.
