Blow Out!

Wow!  What a day!  It’s absolutely amazing what we accomplish on a day without any golf play.  Tees, fairways and collars were mowed in their entirety.  Rough mowing got a healthy head start.  Multiple bunkers were “fluffed” and worked over.  Focus was on holes 7, 9 and 12.

Not all was good though, we started the day by discovering an impressive irrigation blow out.  The picture does no justice as the irrigation was already in the process of being shutdown at the time of snapping this shot.  By noon, the leak was exposed, cleaned, repaired, backfilled and Pressurized.

All the greens were vented as well!  Fresh oxygen exchanged to the plant while harmful gases are released out of the soil profile.

Finally, if that’s not enough... we had our tree guy on the property removing dangerous dead wood from various trees and opening the gap up at #18 tees.  Cleanup efforts will continue tomorrow.  More tree work will continue when we have the opportunity.
