Weekly Review

It's been a challenging week to say the least.  Starting out the week, I had plans to add sand and drain lines to the first fairway bunker on number twelve.  When I woke up Wednesday morning my plans had changed.  After 3 inches of heavy rain and strong winds, our staff went into recovery mode.  We had debris scattered throughout the course and 100 bunkers that resembled the pictures below. As I type, we still have several bunkers in this condition.  We hope to have all bunkers pushed up and playable by Saturday morning and begin routine main on Sunday.  We apologize for the inconvenience.



 We have also struggled with two fairway units this week.  This morning the radiator fan come loose and punctured a huge hole in the radiator.  A new radiator was ordered this morning but its replacement want be in for 7-10 days.   The unit we are using to mow fairways this morning has issue with a hydraulic valve, powering the back two reels.  This issue will cause an uneven look when the fairways have been mowed.   This valve has been ordered an will be here sometime tomorrow.  We should have this unit in good working condition in no time.

Once we have everything back in order we will began the bunker project on #12 fairway.
