Spring 2011 - Part 1

The agronomy department has been busy prepping the course for play this spring as well as using the nice weather to complete a few projects that have been on the "to-do" list for quite some time. First is the the 17th tee box erosion control project. As a part of this project we constructed a retaining wall as well as renovated the steps that access the silver and gold tees. We a will be continuing to work on this project for the next few weeks but I have posted a few photos to show the current progress and will post more photos when we as we progress.










The second project is the installation of a small pop-up zone on hole 18. Pop-up zones are similar to your home lawn irrigation. In our application, they prevent us from having to turn on a large irrigation head which over the course of time both conserves water and reduces our need for using labor hours to hand water this area. It's a spot that receives a great deal of sunlight and with our elevation, the combination of sunlight and a west facing slope in the peak of the summer equals the need optimal water coverage.
