Day 27 Bunker Restoration, 'SUNNY'
It was another good work day on the project with beautiful sunny weather.. Not so good for those on the east coast. Kye mentioned he was doing some work in Princeton, New Jersey in the spring and the course experienced a loss of over 200 trees. Mostly pines but still some significant damage.
The staff worked on the two right bunkers on #6. They were edged, trenched, and drainage installed. Today will be a big push for us in closing the work on #3 and #6 with sand being added and sod being laid around the four bunkers.
Kye completed his work today with the practice bunker and shaped the piles of soil on the driving range for targets. We were short a little bit of sand/soil and will finish shaping these over the next few days when time allows.
#6 front right bunker trenching.
#6 irrigation line and wire avoidance. We used our wire locator to track the line and then had to dig two holes to find the pipe and wiring so we would not trench through it. We were able to go over this one but the second we had to dig underneath the pipe.
