We have concluded our First week of bunker Renovation with some great progress. We are taking advantage of all the work to make some additional improvements to the course, As our construction team is working on the bunkers, I am working on these additional improvements.
We started to work on the greens bunkers first in order to have enough ready to spray the Billy Bunker ploymer. I would anticipate that we will work to 5 green before spraying the stone layer.

| hole 1 new slope |
Once the bunkers have been sprayed we will install sand into the completed bunkers. The fairway bunkers will not have the Billy Bunker bunker system under the sand but we will repair the drainage and install new sand.

We removed 2 bunkers this week the back bunker on 1 green and the first green bunker on the right side of 3 green. I did the shaping work on the removals. In the place of the bunker on hole 1 we will be adding some approach and rough. Hole 3 will be seeded to rough. We are also removing some rough along the edges of the greens that is contaminated with creeping bentgrass and replacing these areas with the sod being harvested from the old bunkers. We also worked on adding some fairway on the left side of 7 approach just in front of the bunker. This area had a high percentage of contaminated rough also.
We are doing our best to maintain the golf course as we work on the renovation. I plan on topdressing all the greens tomorrow and the approaches on tuesday. Next week, I plan on solid tining the greens and do our best to complete the tee core aerification.
