Even I'm excited about this project, I met with the fellows that maintains the bayou and/or drainage ditch that is on the front 9. I showed him the area in front of #18 green and ask if they could put a pipe in the small ditch just outside of the large drainage ditch and then fill it with dirt and replant 419 bermuda, and they sure we can do that.
So folks on July 12th Champions Hydro-Lawn will be working in front of #18 green. They first will have to escavate the ditch in order to get the flow of the water draining in the correct direction. Once this accomplishment is made the pipe will be laid and put together. Then they will fill around the pipe and fill most of the small ditch, however they are required to still have a swale in this area for drainage puposes. Once all of this completed they will plant 419 bermuda grass which is the same type of grass in our fairways. I also have been given permission to install drain boxes in this area as well if needed.This should be a great improvement for the #18th green area.
