Our bunker renovation is about to begin, I hope that you are as excited as our greens staff. Lohman Construction is here and should be working today. We will have back nine starts daily for the rest of the golf season and there will be a good chance that we will be closing down or setting up a temporary greens on the front nine moving forward. Once we start spraying the ploymer in the greens bunker, I may choose to completely close the golf hole to protect the bunker from damage. I apologize for any inconvenience.
The transition to October usually is the start to a few fall projects
We typically lay off the rest of the staff the last week in October and really need to take advantage of the time left in the season to work on a few enhancements. Typically our mowing is slowing down but this year is the expectations. We have started to mow down the fescue. This takes time and with all the rain it is taking even longer. I have been topdressing the greens weekly for the last few weeks we will continue until late fall. I have raised our greens mowers over the last few weeks to our winter height. This allows for much improved sand penetration into the turf. I have been alternating rolling and mowing the greens over the last week. Our staff is greatly reduced right now and with the extra rough and fescue mowing we have a hard time mowing the greens daily. We have completed a few nice enhancements on the course. The tees on 8,9,13,4 have either been straightened or we increased the physical tee space. Yesterday we started to work on the rough edge on 7 green and approach. The rough will be replaced with fairway this week.

I will continue to update the blog on the progress of the bunker work. I will also post on twitter daily once the project gets underway @hawksnr
