Back 9 “Soft Start” to Begin Early February

MacCurrach Golf will begin work in February on the back nine ditch network. The purpose of this initial work is to allow us to properly monitor water transportation leading up to the full restoration, which begins in October 2013. From a project management perspective, this is an important element in managing the schedule and mitigating the potential risk associated with excessive rains during construction.

MacCurrach Golf will be using three track vehicles and two rubber tire vehicles to haul vegetative debris to a dig site located at the back of the practice facility (pictured below in blue). The debris will settle in the dig site and will ultimately be covered. The main concentration of activity, including ditch cleaning will be conducted within the borders of the yellow line pictured below. 

Due to the recent excessive rains, the actual work will commence Monday, February 18. The project will take several months. Members will see vehicles working in the ditch network and a mound of dirt at the back of the practice facility (demonstrated below in blue) during the process, but play will not be affected.
