Block foundation for the Comfort Station on 14 Tee

 The crew is out preparing the course for the weekend. We are mowing greens, tees and fairways today. We will be rolling later this morning if the rain holds off. We have a system moving in from the south but seems to be breaking up as it gets closer.

There has been some progress made on the project this week and we will start seeing some more in the coming week. The foundations are being built at the comfort stations as well as the covered porch. These areas will be backfilled early next week.

Comfort Station construction has started on #14 Tee

We should see some very good progress this week with our construction projects. The rain last week delayed the start of the projects until this week. Monday the crew was able to get the foundation excavated and the footing poured. Interesting and nerve wracking bringing a full Cement Truck onto the golf course. We have designated a haul road that will also be the sewer and water path so we should be able to minimize the disrupted area. The excavating crew will be moving onto the Covered Porch addition on the clubhouse this morning so expect some construction traffic passing the Proshop most of the day. 

We are mowing greens, tees and fairways this morning. Monday we were able to complete a complete verticut and topdress on greens. This will help firm them up a little and smooth out the ball roll. We have had a some very good wind the past couple of days and the crew will be working on cleaning up some small debris on the golf course.

I will be trying to keep the blog updated daily as the projects get into full gear. If you have any questions on the status of the projects feel free to contact the Grounds Department at anytime.

Alfredo rolling greens

 We have a couple light passing showers this morning. The crew is out mowing greens, tees and fairways. Bunkers are being raked and Nick is setting pin locations on the Championship Course. Corey is mowing up the executive course and we will be spraying the executive course later this morning.

Should be a hot and muggy couple of days leading up to the weekend. We will have a busy week next week with several events during the week and Women's and Senior's Club Championship next weekend. Shingobee will be starting the construction project next week and work will begin on the Portico and Comfort Stations.

Light topdress and drag this past Tuesday

We are mowing and rolling greens this morning. Kurt and Reynaldo are setting the course for play and hand watering greens. We are looking at another great day with a slight chance of storms late in the day. The moon has been big and bright helping the crew getting started in the dark. We are spot watering some fairways this morning and checking irrigation heads. Enjoy the weekend!
