Construction Progress 1/30/13

After another week of horrible working weather last week our contractor was finally able to get back to work again yesterday.  As you can see in this picture they finished grading and prepping #13 green making it ready for sod.


At the same time they were working on #13 another crew was getting started on digging #14 green out.  Which they were able to finish by the end of the day. 

This morning started out by trenching the drain lines inside of #14 green and then starting to install the gravel.  As you can see from the picture below the workmanship is excellent.  They make it a very "clean" process so that there will be no contamination of soil inside the trenches that could possibly get inside the pipes and cause issues. 


Our maintenance staff has taken advantage of break in the weather and we cleared trees back from the pond on #12.  This was a necessary step in the construction process because in the next phase this pond is going to be enlarged by almost double what it is now.  This is being done for a few different reasons, first to make more room to be able to drain the water off of #12 fairway, and second because we need a tremendous amount of soil to raise and shape #11 fairway to be able to drain the water off of that hole as well.  The soil that is excavated from the pond on 12 will be hauled over and used on #11 fairway.  This was a simple solution to get the soil that we needed from our property and save the expense of having to purchase soil and have it trucked into the jobsite.
