8 and 15 progress

The view from the newly expanded upper fairway on #8.  We are currently working on the tees then we will relocate the cart path by the green.

17th Green XGD

The top photo shows the 17th green a day after XGD was installed and an inch of rain.  This was one of our wettest greens and now no water on the surface.  Even with the green being firmer than ever following the rain, the bottom picture shows water still flowing out of the pipes from the subsurface.

XGD Really Works

The top picture shows our 7th green following this weekends rain.  This is slated to be drained this coming week.  The bottom picture shows our 2nd green (one of our poorest greens) after the same rain 2 days following XGD drainage and it is bone dry.

#15 Progress

The new constructed front left bunker is ready for sand and we have also widened the fairway approach and brought the fairway right into the left and right front bunkers.

XGD 17 Green

XGD has begun on 17 green and just like #2, we found water at the bottom of each drain line over 70% of the green.

#15 Green Complex Underway

Work to the 15th green include making the 2 right pot bunkers into one bunker, shrinking the front left bunker, having fairway run into the bunkers on both sides and removing the mounds behind the green.  We also are resodding the entire green complex and installing all new irrigation.
We should have the green complex done by tomorrow afternoon.

Sod Being Cut for 15 Green

After snow blowing off the sod fields so they can cut sod, our grower is getting hit with more snow today as he cuts it so we can sod our 15th green complex tomorrow.  The weather has not been great the past week with heavy rain, snow and cold.

#2 XGD Progress

Progress is being made on the 2nd green with the XGD drainage.  If you see in the bottom picture, about 14" below the surface there is water sitting under the green.  There is no way for the water to get out, especially after it rains, but now with the drainage, we can dry them down quicker.

XGD Drainage Starting on 2nd Green Today
