March 2013 Course
Conditions
March has been a busy month with having contractors on site.
The White Wing drainage project went well and did an excellent job of handling
a two inch rain last week. The sod needs some warmer weather to establish and
until then we will keep that area Ground Under Repair. This project was the
first one on the list that we wanted to get done in the first quarter with the
$30k in operational dollars set aside for course improvements. The remaining
items include the trimming of the large tree on #6 at Legacy Hills and the
cleanup and grassing of the area left of #8 at White Wing which will both take
place in late April.
The Legacy Hills bunker project has been moving along at a
good pace even with the rain interruption last week. The reshaping of the
bunkers on #3 turned out great and the contractor is currently reshaping the
bunkers on #5 and should be done this week.
While all of the work on the courses is keeping us busy we
are still working on our Audubon Certification for the three courses. The
Superintendents and I are meeting once a week to work on the certification. The
environmental plan portion has been finished which puts us about 10%
complete. Also, Jon and myself are
working toward our CGCS certification and have started the portfolio process.
