We are moving forward with the restoration of the 8th pond or should I say, downward! Over the past 3 decades over 7 feet of debris has collected in the bottom of the pond. They are removing the material and placing it in the newly built "basins" on the hill side to filter out the water. The dredging will continue until we reach the "original" base of the pond.
Starting yesterday, the construction crew began sodding the 18th green complex. They have installed bentgrass for the fairway extensions, low cut bluegrass for the intermediate cut and turf type tall fescue for the rough. They also installed some fine fescue on the bunker edges. We plan to finish sodding by tonight but might need to purchase a small quantity more next week to fix some construction wounds.
