Bunker Construction Update

The weather has been an issue due to the amount of rain we have received.  All of the bunkers and lake excavation on #7 are completed besides the finishing aspects (i.e. bunker liner, sand, and sod) on the fairway bunkers.  Dave Carter (our lead shaper) will be finishing #1 today then moving to #9 and by the end of tomorrow should be on #10.

#7 Greensides "Before"

#7 Greensides "After"

With the lake excavation we have moved approximately 400 tons of material, This was all moved by tractor trailer and dump truck.  This material was used to add a berm on the left side of #7.  This was seeded to our fescue blend similar to #14 and #15.  

Ball Marks

The ballmarks on the greens have gotten noticeably worse recently.  How bad are they?  Below is a picture of the #3 green with 500 flags, each representing unrepaired/incorrectly-repaired ballmarks.  The reason the entire green is not covered is because we ran out of flags! Approximately 1500 flags would be needed to designate all of the ballmarks on this green..  I am asking each member to assist us repairing ballmarks by repairing two ballmarks on each green – yours and another.  I appreciate your help.
