It seems like just yesterday we were getting started with the dredging project. Since December 19th, many changes have taken place to the grounds of MCC, most importantly the lake on #3,#13, and the driving range. Now that both contractors are on site, it feels like our project gets a little closer to completion everyday. The Driving Range Tee is rough graded, and Bob Cupp has given his blessing for the work to proceed. The next step is to install the drain pipe, followed by the irrigation. The drainage will be installed starting on Monday, and the irrigation is scheduled to be installed the following Monday, February 17th. Bulldozers and Excavators have pushed and mixed the dredged material from the pond which has been drying for the last month, and found that it is drying and almost ready to work with! This is great news for the progress of the project, and means we should be still on track to finish around the first of May. The big push is now on the Dredging company to finish hauling the last of the material. I would estimate they have 25% to 30% of the surface area of the pond left to dredge, but to date have only removed approximately 9,000 cubic yards. This could change over the next few weeks, as the crew will be digging at least 4 to 5 feet deep the rest of the way. Take a look at the picture and you can see how much we are digging!
Take a look at the irrigation heads in front of Stephen. These heads represent the original grade of the chipping green, and show how much sand has been sprayed out of the bunker and accumulated over time. As referenced by Stephens leg, the bunker had raised up to about 12 inches over time!
Here was the view from the teaching building this morning!
