What another great day of weather and progress for the 18 green project. Day 3 brought about finalizing the new front subgrade with native soil, wetting it down a bit, and compacting it down. After measuring and marking where the top of the native rootzone will be, it was added back after incorporating additional sand into the mix. The transition from rough to green was also worked on in the back of the green and the false front.
Arthur Hills visited the site today, along with his associate, Shawn Smith. He was quite pleased with the work that Cam, Tracy, and the entire crew from Oliphant Golf has done to carry out his plans to improve our green. It was great to hear his vision of both the newly designed green and other places out on the golf course.
Tomorrow brings another action packed day. We will be rototilling the upper rootzone for final grading and Oliphant will have their shaping equipment out to complete the tie ins and other subtle contours within the rough grade. Final grading may begin as well, if all plans go accordingly.
Enjoy the pictures, and I will have another update tomorrow!
