A Big Sigh of Relief
I am happy to report that the Concrete Cart Path Project is complete. The spine jarring rides over unpaved limestone have come to an end. I want to thank all of our members and guests for their patience and understanding throughout this journey. Jayme and our staff are the unsung heroes of this project. The amount of soil and sod required to present a finished product is astounding. They have worked "sun up to sun down" to maintain the integrity of the golf course. This project was a joint effort of the Golf and Greens Committees, with added insight from Gordy Lewis, our Golf Course Architect. Playability, accessibility, maintainability and aesthetics were all considered before the final routing was approved. For example, the paths on #4, #7 and #14 were removed for playability. The cart path on #5 was moved closer to the green for accessibility and the path on #12 fairway provides a conduit for shotguns, maintenance and liquid fertility deliveries. Finally, the concrete paths provide a surface that will be maintainable and aesthetically pleasing for years to come. We still have a few remaining asphalt paths, the worst of these areas received an "overlay", as seen in the picture below. Two of the major improvements, centered around raising the catch basin at #14 tee and softening the walk-up to the restroom at #15 tee. Pictures do not do them justice, the difference is dramatic.
Our focus now is the presentation of the course for the Labor Day Shotgun. We have a full field of Stonebridge and Visari members/guests. We like to shine when we entertain guests!
