Another Productive Day!

Our head start from Wednesday made for smooth sailing on Thursday.  We endured a short 40 minute lightning delay and jumped right back into the game.  The team completed the Tee verti-cutting and clean up, fairway circle cutting was completed and the tees were topdressed and aerified today. We also got a head start on the Fairway topdressing. The concrete portion of Cart Path Project is progressing on schedule and the Driving Rang Tee continues to inch towards completion.  The first of four major drain lines was installed today after a lengthy delay in equipment delivery.  As of today, we are projected to pour concrete on Tuesday and install the new Mats on Thursday.  This would allow the range to open on Saturday along with the golf course.  

Brian Beckner was also on site today to install an Osprey Platform between holes #6 and #7 in an effort to to move our existing nesting Ospreys to a safer location.  The original plan was to "snag" the existing tree and move the nest, however the Pine had deteriorated to the point of becoming a safety hazard so the decision was made to remove the entire tree.  The nesting material was preserved and transferred to the platform prior to installation. Nesting activity typically starts in November or December. Keep your eyes peeled!
