- Answer Asphalt completed the surfacing of the new paths yesterday. A marked improvement to the overall look in these areas. When the curbing is added, landscaping is finished and small convenience zones are laid down we will now have clean, long lasting, low maintenance cart paths.
- We will be starting 2 new paths this week. From 13 green to 14 tee and from 14 green to 15 tee. I have figured out haul routes that will leave the least amount of wear and hopefully we can rent some Dura Mat ground protection from an oilfield supply company.
Hole #10
- Sodding of the entire hole is scheduled for Tuesday November 1st. We estimate a total of 124,000 square feet or 2.83 acres of sod. That's 460 big roll units!! English Lawns from Vancouver (they have an Alberta base) will install the sod. They come highly recommended. The owner is known as "The Sodfather". That made me laugh.
- We will do what we can at the tee complex and the Short Game Practice Area before the really cold weather sets in. Fortunately this area should clear off first and dry up rather quickly next spring.
Retaining Wall In Front Of The 18th Green
- Construction of the wall should begin next week with completion around the 15th of November. That is a project that can proceed even if the weather does not hold up. Pond filling this fall is still an option at the moment.
Bunker Renovations
- We are making good progress. CTC is nearing completion with fairway work on holes #13 and #15, greenside work on holes #11 and #12 and of course, the new fairway bunkers on #10. The Royal Mayfair Crew is sodding and installing sand as soon as CTC completes their work . I know I sound like a broken record but each nice day goes a long way at this time of year.
Stay tuned,
Wade
