Hey folks,
The crew has finished with bunkers for the early part of the year. Hole number 2,9,10,11,12,18 faces are re-done.
We will be now moving forward into removing the dead pine trees around the course. Then we'll move to the driving range to remove the dead trees as well. As of March 8th, to my knowledge all the dead pines have bben removed. The crew is now working on the pines along Westheimer Parkway parellel to the driving range.

Thanks for the update Willy. How many greenside bunkers need to be redone (I know some had been done before) and when do you hope to get them finished. Great job on the ones you've done this winter.
ReplyDeleteBrian,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback. We should get back on track in October 2012. For this coming winter season I'm hoping to complete the sod banks on holes #3 thru #8 that's 13 bunkers. With our knowledge going into this fall, we should be able to move a little quicker. Keep in mind, no drainage work was done on the bunkers you've seen so far. We simply went in lifted the existing sand and added additional sand as needed. I'm really interested in seeing how these bunkers react to heavy rainfalls.
