The Calm before the Storm

Typically these last few days of a maintenance closure are usually reserved for detail work and presentation in preparation of re-opening the golf course.  The July closure is always a bit different.  We are still "knee deep" in projects and our contractors keep throwing curve balls at us.  I have to give all the credit in the world to my team.  As our plans seemingly change hour by hour, they have risen to the challenge and accomplished every task without hesitation.  We will forge ahead and focus on healing up a battered golf course and providing an enjoyable playing experience for our members and guests.  

Now for our daily Driving Range Tee Renovation Update:  the new concrete slab that will support the State of the Art Turfhound Synthetic Mats was poured today.  The installation of the mats has now been moved to Friday(contractor curve ball).  This has the schedule looking like this: Wednesday - Final grade and shape of entire tee and surrounds, Thursday - sod all slopes, Friday - install mats and sprig tee surface,  Saturday - listen to our members rave about how great these new mats are.  Always the Optimist, Forever the Realist!
