"The three most important items for success of a green.
DRAINAGE, DRAINAGE & DRAINAGE."
Drainage, Sunlight & Airflow is probably more accurate...but the point is made.
The rough shaping is now finished on both 15 & 16 and drainage work under way. Both greens drainage systems have improved dramatically, going from near nothing to extensive.
Today, 11/12/13, we had a slight delay due to an unexpected burst of snow. This made the surfaces a little too wet to work on today, but will be fine to continue tomorrow.
as usual...here are some photos:
