Projects moving along, weather keeping bermuda growth slow

 

With the irrigation project isolated on #1, we now can finish off a few projects of our own behind the new pipe installation. A big french drain was cut in here off 3 cartpath to help direct water away from this front right green side bunker.

The bridge by 4 green was rebuilt with fresh treated lumber.

The old dirt path has also been prepped for new asphalt all the way to the bridge on #5. This path and transition should be nice and smooth come the opening of the front nine of the 19th of April.

We have also been working on replacing the old cobblestones with new pavers around the front of the Sabot.

The new greens continue to grow through the cold and we have dropped the height down another .01" this week. They are recovered from their aeration and looking great.

The irrigation team is at the top of the hill on 1, headed towards the tee. The rain storms have not been helping but the guys continue to grind towards the finish line.

The cartpath from #1 Sabot tee to our cut through path has been ripped up and is prepped for new asphalt.

The path between 1 Manakin and 10 Sabot is also prepped for new asphalt, hopefully here and the areas on 8 Manakin will be paved for the weekend.

Joe is getting his seasonal team dialed in the season. Our fixed head mowers with out front brushes continue to improve the texture of the greens on the Manakin.

The Manakin guys are also working on small detail projects like cleaning up the washout around the in flow pipe here on the left of #11. We are ready for the grass to start growing!
