A rainy Thursday put a halt to our construction project.  Work should wrap up early next week.  Temporary greens and tees are being readied for the eventual coming of winter.  Greens 3, 4, and 5 will be covered later this month.  In the meantime enjoy golf on Christmas as more warm weather is forecast.

New sod has been added to worn areas of many of our bunkers.

Fresh sod around the first tee.

Bent collar expansion on the fifteenth hole.

Bent Hogan's Walk going in at thirteenth tee.  Irrigation was installed on Wednesday with final grading and sodding early next week.

Say goodbye to a relic.  We recently disposed of some old equipment including this truck to tidy up our turf care center.  

Construction is going very well with the superb weather we are experiencing.  We expect to wrap up all the renovations by the end of the week.  Our staff has taken advantage of the great weather and continued with more new sod placed throughout the course.  We have enjoyed the beautiful weather as much as our members and have welcomed mowing turf in December!

The expansion of the tenth hole is now complete and the change is dramatic.

The forward tee on seven looks like it had always been there.

A bentgrass collection area is being added to the fifteenth green as indicated by the orange flags with sod harvested from the thirteenth approach.

Applying fungicides for winter disease protection for the last time this season?

Murphy's Law at work.  The last mow of the season and we experience a hydraulic leak.  Thank goodness the operator caught it quickly.

Changing the shape of thirteen approach.

Is it possible we are irrigating in December?  Yep.

Our staff getting it done with attention to detail.  A perfect straight line with new rough sod added at the first tee.

Hooded Megansers have returned indicating winter is coming.

One more beautiful sunrise.
