Dredging is finally over, now the race to repair the damage!

Even though the weather outside today is terrible, there is still something to celebrate.  We are officially done with the dredging portion of the project!  All of the dredgers equipment was removed over the weekend and we are now focusing all our efforts to repair everything destroyed during the project.  As our staff works diligently every day on what seems like endless projects, the list of things for us to fix is getting smaller and smaller.  Some of the things we have worked on over the last few weeks include installing a drain on the left side of hole #3, repairing the new silt retention dams on both ends of the lake on #3, sodding and landscaping around the bridges and haul roads of #3 pond, and also working on #14 and #16.  This has left our crew with a balancing act of both maintaining the golf course, as well as working on restoring the course from the project.  We have done this by simply splitting up our staff into two different crews.  The construction crew, headed by our Senior Assistant Lyle Curry, will focus on the dredging repair and see that everything gets fixed properly.  The daily maintenance crew will be lead by Chase Newman, our Second Assistant.  The maintenance crew is vital to keep up with the growing demands of the golf course which increase more and more as temperatures rise.  As we move on more into prime golf season, we want the golf course to not be forgotten.  This temporary division of our staff will help us to be more efficient, as well as ensure we do not lose sight of any piece of the MCC property that needs our attention.  Take a look at a few pictures of our crew in action over the last few weeks.......

I think Max is the only one relaxing after sodding a whole truckload in one day!
