If you have been out to the course in the last few days you will have noticed intensive work by Answer Asphalt on the remaining back nine cart paths as well as the first tee and the 9th green. They have been working from dawn to dusk and the paths should be ready for paving next week providing the weather cooperates.
Regarding the washout issue behind the 9th green we were able to replace the cracked concrete drainage with plastic storm pipe after Answer removed the old asphalt for us. We also made a change at #11 that will improve the look and playability of the hole to the left of the green. The path has been moved into the spruce trees and the old path will be sodded up to the tree line. No more railroad tie curb and an extra 10 feet of turf to hit from should you end up left of the bunker.
It is too late in the season to pour any concrete curbing but Curb Craft will be here first thing in the spring to complete their work. We will follow up immediately with soil back filling, step install and sod work. The paving stone side outs for the ballwashers and benches will be the final step.
The irrigation system was scheduled to be blown out today and Friday but due to circumstances beyond our control we will have to continue the process into the weekend. My apologies but the company that we rent from did not deliver the compressors until Thursday afternoon.
As soon as water is cleared from each hole we will be sending out the sprayers to treat the fairways with winter protection fungicides. High winds and threat of rain may dictate otherwise but if you do see the notification signs or the sprayers please keep in mind that chemicals may be on the turf and you should wash your hands after your round. Call me at 203-4211 if you have any concerns or questions.
I hope you get a chance to get out soon because it looks like the weather is turning for the worse. Lets hope it warms up again so we can all stay out on the course for another week or so. I will be posting a blog outlining our test for covering and monitoring the 6th green so look for it in the next week or so.
All for now,
Wade
