Today was one of those days where it may not look like a lot of productivity occurred, but we probably took our biggest step yet toward reaching the next phase of the renovation. Coming into the day, the general shape of the green and bunker had been completed but had not been approved. Mr. Arthur Hills and his associate, Brian Yoder visited the site to review the work and to make some minor adjustments. After the visit, there was a definitive plan for the remainder of the project.
The green took shape right before our eyes as Mr. Hills and Brian Yoder seemingly waved their hands and added subtle contours to the green. The shape of the bunker from Day 3 to Day 4 took a more dramatic change. The new bunker will be classified as a "coffin" bunker. It will have a flat bottom and only a slight amout of sand flashed up on the sides. I am thrilled with this decision, because the threat of washouts has almost been eliminated. The grassed face of the bunker will be steep, but maintainable. Make no mistake about it, this will be a very challenging bunker to go with an equally challenging green.
