Major paving and bunker improvements this week

We are locked in on our sand and moving forward! This sand is as white as it gets and should play nice and firm. It was held up perfectly after another wet week.

We have charged along in the bunkers on the Sabot. #10 greenside bunker is ready for capillary concrete and we have excavated the right bunker on 11 as well as the bunkers on 12 and 13. We have loads of capillary concrete set up for Wednesday and Thursday next week. Sand is in the lower parking lot ready to go. As we excavate, we are searching for the original soil shape of the bunker edge. In most cases these edges are coming back 2-3 feet!

The old drainage is dug out and the trench is widened and dug deeper.

A gravel layer is laid down in the trench and then new pipe is installed. The pipe is covered in gravel and the trench is filled. The capillary concrete is then laid at a two inch depth across the entire bottom of the bunker. This is the ultimate way to drain a bunker!

Hunter got his bridge finished up on 8 Sabot and it rides and looks beautiful! All the wood was replaced down to the steel I beams. We put it just over 200 man hours re-building this bridge.

Wells Paving showed up as scheduled on Monday morning. They finished prepping a few areas and started paving Tuesday. In front of the putting green and golf shop is now a smooth and nice looking ride all the way around.

The common area behind the cart barn and between 10 Manakin and the range received some fresh asphalt. Without the grass area splitting traffic here the traffic flow will be much smoother.

The gravel road to the bathroom behind 7 Manakin is now paved and connected to 5 tee.

Stump grindings are being removed on the Sabot. Many of these areas in the rough will be sodded in a few weeks as the weather warms up, and it will warm up!
