Renovation of #18 Green: Day 3

Lots of progress was made on Day 3.  As I reviewed the pictures that I took it was amazing how much detail work took place and how close we are to a finished sub-grade.  Ramon and his staff from O&J Construction are very good at what they do, and have proved it everyday.  As of now, the sub-grade of the green is ready for Arthur Hills to review and the new bunker has begun to take shape.  Mr. Hills and his associate, Brian Yoder will be here tomorrow (Thursday) to recommend the final contours of the green and make the necessary changes to the shape of the bunker.  Once the final contours of the sub-grade are created, it will be time to bring in the native rootzone material that was removed earlier in the week.

All-in-all, the project is moving along quite quickly and I remain very pleased with the work that is being done.  Enjoy the photos!

Old bunker size/shape

Rough size/shape of new bunker.  I will be recommending that there be a
sod face to the bunker instead of flashing sand up the entire face. This will
minimize the risk of washouts.
