Work is ongoing for our crew.  Excellent weather has allowed us to work extensively outside.  We are in unusual waters with this mild, dry weather.  We have irrigated more than ever in December.  We even watered the course on Christmas Eve and Christmas night.  That is Crazy!!  We are still raking bunkers and mowed greens once as well as rolling on different days. Finally, we are getting some rain.  We are draining the irrigation system today but don't expect to blow out the system unless we see some really cold weather in the forecast.  We will blow out the clubhouse and tennis lawns. This has been superb weather for construction.  Nineteen consecutive days and no days lost to weather which is amazing.  Work begins again on Monday the 3rd.  Happy New Year!

Adding sand to the fairway bunker.  Notice the Better Billy Bunker gravel layer.  The polymer was poured the day before and the base is hard as rock.

The completed bunkers.

Another view.

Some of the contouring in the fairway to improve drainage.  There was about 18 inches of cut in these swales.

Foxes are checking out the new bunkers but can't get past the liner.

Check out the work our guys have done on five.  Once many of the trees are removed it will look even better.

More pond bank clearing.

The fourth tee bank.  We'll throw out some wildflower seed this winter and see what happens.

Freshening up chip beds with new chips.
