This week, we are in the process of extending the cart path to the east of the putting clock. This is a highly congested area where carts are continually passing by each other. Extending the cart path will allow carts do so without getting off the cart path and damaging the turf.
The first step to this process is to outline the extension area. Then, we will dig out approximately 8" of dirt. We will then add approximately 3-4" of AB3 gravel and install sections of rebar to help reinforce and stabilize the concrete. Finally, we will mix and pour the concrete with a slight taper away from the cart path so that water will not collect and stand on the finished path.
As many of you have seen, there are several bird houses throughout the course for the Eastern Bluebird. This winter we have built 12 more houses and will be adding them to the property. This will improve the habitat for these birds and give them a safe place to be, while increasing there population.
This week our team completed phase two of our tree removal project. This phase involves grinding of the stump. This is accomplished by operating a heavy piece of machinery known as a stump grinder, which tears up the stump into little wood chips. These wood chips are then removed by hand in preparation for phase three. Phase three will involve bringing in topsoil to back fill the hole that was created from stump grinding. After back filling the hole we will then sod cut the area and prep for sod.
