The staff finished the practice bunker on Tuesday which is the last bunker in our overall project. We had 45 bunkers when we started last season and now have 37 bunkers to maintain.
The project has come in at or near our budget. There were a few surprises along the way but most everything went as planned. The staff faced some pretty difficult circumstances with the rain we experienced in the first half of the project but some dry weather over the last half allowed us to get the project completed fairly close to schedule.
Plans for the next couple weeks include:
- Cleaning up out flow trenches and sodding as needed.
- Sod the bentgrass collar back in place along #17
- Hand watering the new sod to push root growth before winter sets in.
- Trimming sod edges along the bunker edge.
- Back filling settled trenches and seeding areas next to construction which were disrupted but did not require new sod.
- We will also be expanding the targets that Kye shaped before he left the project and will be seeding them with rye grass and covering them with straw. We intend to sprig the targets with bermuda grass in mid-spring so that they can be mowed tightly giving them a green surface appearance.
