Pushing the Envelope

While we have not had ideal weather this entire spring, we are continuing to make good progress with our renovation work.  Here we are tarping our new fairway expansion on the 13th hole in advance of the rain so we can continue to lay sod after.

At Least Another Week to Go

#4 green pictured is the only green that has no snow on it.  All the other greens on the course for the exception of the practice green have anywhere from 3-6" of snow on them with a little ice layer underneath.

New View From New Tees #5

We have greatly improved the view of NYC with some tree removals near our shop this winter.  Now on a clear day you can see the entire skyline.

Construction Underway on 14 Tee

Today we started working on the new 14th tee complex.  Since we cleaned the snow off after each storm, it helped the tee thaw out earlier than expected so we can get to work.  As you can see in the background much of the area is still significantly snow covered.

Pushing to Get Work Done

With the long winter persisting, we cleaned the snow off the old cart path on #4 and added all new stone for the base.  This is one less thing we will have to do once the snow melts and we can get back on the course.

Clubhouse Footings Being Poured Today

With all the challenges so far with the building expansion, they finally got good weather to pour the footings yesterday.  Now the project should start churning along.

Recycling

All the concrete that was removed from the clubhouse renovation, our old asphalt paths and our old retaining walls from our ponds are all being crushed into a recycled product that can be used for cart paths and path bases.  The cost to crush all the material is about 1/4 of the cost if we were to purchase all the material we will have at the end to use.
