#7 start of day 2

#7 Bunker Project

Today we are starting work on the MGA sponsored Bunker Project on #7. We are getting rid of the second fairway bunker on #7 . I am redesigning it in to a grass slope/bunker. The idea is to have it sloped enough so that water will not collect in the bottom.
While working on this project the tees on number 7 will occasionally be pushed up into the fairway to play as a Par 3. We do this to protect us while working. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Here are some before pictures.

Some work around the course.

We this week we have leveled sprinkler heads and re graded the low wet spots around 8 green.

We also have done some patch work in our maintenance area parking lot.

Not covering.

Although a short cold snap is coming in this weekend there is no need to cover the greens. It is not going to be cold enough to threaten the turf.
I have, however, covered one half of the nursery green on six. I did this out of curiosity. I want to see how much faster that part of the green comes out of dormancy this spring if I keep it warm and protected during these late year cold snaps. I believe we see a difference but not a drastic one. It will be interesting to see.

Exciting Morning!

We have resumed our Sprinkler head leveling project this morning. Here is an example of what can happen when working with pressurized irrigation systems.
Alfredo was very quick to react and get the situation under control. I had to get picture first!
