Today is May 1st, and I am very sad to say that the project is not yet complete. This day has long been our goal to for opening 27 holes and the Driving Range, but many different factors have made our goal unobtainable. Recent weekly rains have slowed the drying process on the last 50% of the range, and even the Bulldozers doing the work continually get stuck while trying to finish up. Please know that we are still diligently working to put everything back together, and still hope to have all 27 holes open some time in the next week to 10 days. I do believe that everyone will start to see a lot more progress over the next 2 weeks. Saturday, we will start to sod the remaining damage from the haul road on #3, as well as finish #8 fairway. After this area is sodded, TDI will then start laying sod in front of the new range tee. The plan is to sod as much of the range as possible next week. We should have over half of the range complete by the end of next week, and the rest will be soon to follow. Once project we have been busy with is stabilizing the banks of the creek on #13 fairway. We have chosen to repair the stream bank with big boulders, weighing 2,000 to 3,000 pounds each. This should help to keep the bank from continually eroding over time, and also add a clean and aesthetically pleasing look to the stream. Take a look at the pictures below and see what you think. I plan on showing a complete chronological timeline of photos once the project is completed. We still have one more side to go!
Even though the project is a little behind schedule, we are still seeing improvements every day. We are all anxious for the project to be over and for the club to be running at its normal capacity once again! We are going to put our nose to the grindstone for the next few weeks and deliver the best product possible!
