The new upper practice tee is now making progress. We are putting the sand mix in today, starting to sod tomorrow and by next week the tee should be finished. We then have to finish irrigating the new range and then aerify and seed it and we should just about be finished with this enormous project.
We recently planted 2 large oak trees in the right rough to the right of 18 fairway. These trees are future replacements for the large oak that frames the dogleg. If we were to ever lose the old oak, the whole strategic value of the hole would change. These replacements will be here long after our time here at Arcola.
The weather has been less than desirable the past few weeks, but we managed to get 2 tees prepped and sodded on Friday during the little snow event we received in the morning. Once 13 tees are completed, we move on to the new upper range tee and the 16th tee complex.
