Bunker Restoration

Had only 3 guys working with me this morning on #13 right side bunkers.  We did some additional trenching and got the bunkers a little closer to being completed on Monday.  The rest of the staff was preparing the course and blowing and mulching leaves for weekend play.

While typing this post, the sun is streaming through my window giving way to a beautiful sunny afternoon.  The long shadows of fall gives the course a really great look and the temperatures make it even better.

Kye came in and finished the two left bunkers on #17.  He will be completing the right bunker on Monday and will then move on to #12, #1, practice and then 6 will be his last two bunkers.  The forecast for temperatures next week are great for the beginning of the World Series here in St. Louis(I hope) but rain chances have continued to increase for the week so we will have to see how things go if we can get Kye's work completed and we can focus on putting everything back into play.

#17 left side bunkers.  There is only 10 paces between the edge of the mound  on the right and the right side collar of the green so a slight opening but no large scale opening after removing the front bunker.  The hole and green look really good without the bunker in front.
