April 13th

You wouldn't think that one day would make a difference, but it seems like everyday the new course's pulse gets a little stronger. Here are some pics of what happened since the last posting

Remember the drainage on #10, here's a couple of the new catch basin risers



Work continues to move a long on #7, here's how the shaping will take place. After stripping, the contractor will read the plans and set grade elevations.


Once the elevations are set, then the clean fill dirt is brought in to be shaped to the new grades by the bull dozer.


....and the process proceeds down the fairway



So you go from this...


To this..... notice the difference in the sand piles around the tee area. Its all shaped into soft contours now.


Some other stuff is going on as well. As much of my buildings as possible will be painted a deep green to help make them vanish into the ficus hedge wall on #16.


All over the back 9 fairways test holes have been dug to see how bad the rock is. Initial findings are that the rock is not as bad as originally thought. That means the contractor should be able to move a little faster since they will not have to do as much hauling back and forth between the front and the back. You can see the blue pipe in this test hole. That's the effluent main supply, a 16" pipe. Good thing we found that before the giant excavator did!
