Golf Course Restoration Update for the Week of December 1-7, 2013

An incredible amount of work was completed last week on the restoration project of the course. Here are a few of the highlights of the activity:
  • Irrigation at holes 7,8 and 9 have been staked out and the wire for the system on hole 7 is already laying on the ground. Bob Scott, TFP's irrigation consultant form Atlanta, GA was on property to supervise the staking of the irrigation and he will return soon to deliver more directives.
  • The irrigation road crossings have been patched up by the Crosby Paving Company.
  • TFP's project architect, Tim Liddy has been on site for the last several weeks to implements Mr. Dye's latest directives. Last week, Mr. Liddy implemented Dye's vision on golf holes 11,12,13,14,15,16,17 and 18. Mr Dye is scheduled to be back this week.
  • The bulkhead at 2 has been removed in the demolition program.
  • Strom water drainage installation is occurring at golf holes 1,2,9,10,11,14,17 and 18 last week and this week.
  • The greens at holes 7 and 8 were drained and had the 4 inch gravel installed in them.
  • Bunker drainage at holes 7,8,9 are being completed.
The gravel to 7 green has been added. The green complex looks amazing.
The bulkhead at #2 golf hole has been removed and new drainage is being installed.

#6 green complex shown here is being roto-tilled. A critical demolition step.

The irrigation wires for 7 green complex are waiting to be installed.

The bunker drainage at 7 green complex has been installed.
