Day 31-32 Bunker Restoration Project

The staff spent part of the day on Monday cleaning up the course after the rain stopped by mid-morning.  Most of the staff has been ill over the last month so I kept them out of the rain for a couple of hours.

We spent Tuesday and today working on the bunkers.  Progress is a little slow working in the wet bunkers of #4 but we are plodding along in the mud.  This area gets very little sun and has remained wet for weeks.  The right rear bunker was trenched, drainage installed, some of the sand was added as was some of the sod.  We still need to do some soil/muck removal from the front bunker and install drainage, sand and sodding.  I also started trenching the front left bunker on #17 today as well.  I hope we can finish #4 on Thursday and then complete at least one bunker on #17 before the weekend.  We plan to excavate all three bunkers on #17 and clean the soil out before the end of the weekend since rain is predicted for late weekend or early next week.

My hope is to have all bunkers including the practice completed by Thanksgiving if the weather holds out for us.

Sod was added to the right rear bunker.  We hope to complete the front bunker of #4 as well as the final touches on the rear bunker on Thursday.
