We are coming out of winter and gearing up for the course renovations. Renovations will begin the week beginning August 25th. We will be coring, scarifying, fertilizing, seeding and top dressing the back nine fairways this spring. Last spring the front nine were done. Some of the bad areas on the front nine fairways will also be renovated. In addition to this the greens, tees and green approns will also be renovated. Large hollow tines will be used on the greens and a heavy top dressing will be applied with fertilizer to kick start the growth of the greens.
Work on has continued on the areas between the 9th green and first tee. The path has been completed with drainage work to stop water collecting on the path and eroding it. The green tee has been completed with a bridge across the drain. The bunker has been cleaned out and the drainage point is clear for connection of the new drainage pipe. The bunker will be shortened slightly on the back end as there is an irrigation pipe running through the bunker. This will be covered with soil and the bunker shortened slightly. Some of the soil has been taken off the front mound so that the bunker will be more visible from the tee. Some low maintenance shrubs will be planted in the large bark area and a row of photinias will be planted in the long bark are between the paths.
