Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from all of us in the Marietta Country Club Grounds Department!  We are glad to announce the Dredging Project is in full swing and we are starting to see some production!  The 2 larger Marooka trucks that we were expecting have arrived and now the real hauling can begin.  To date our largest total of cubic yards hauled has been 300, but with the larger trucks the new goal is to haul 500 yards a day.  The area in front of #3 green is almost completely dredged out, and the crew will now work to build a ramp out into the middle of the pond.  It was a hassle at first getting the pump situated so that it could de-water the lake consistently without getting stopped up with trash.  They have relocated the intake hose of the pump to a deeper part of the pond and it is working just fine.  The current total of cubic yards hauled is just under 1,000yds, which is around 5% completed.  Does  not sound like much, but with the larger equipment we should be able to multiply that a lot faster!
