The Stream Bank Project on hole number 14 has been completed. We dug out the old access road and installed 6 inches of slate to handle the weight of the trucks and equipment during this process. The Riprap was installed and the stream bank has been stabilized for years to come. The trucks hauling the Riprap had to travel approximately 500 yards across 13 fairway and down the left side of hole 14 to the site. The heavy frost protected most of the area traveled on, but some rutting did occur and those areas will be repaired as soon as the weather permits.
Unfortunately we are still snow covered, so nobody has been able to play in the last few weeks. Except for Jim Moyer, who shovels a trail to the range mats and hits balls every day.

NEW TEE BOXES
GRAVEL PATH BETWEEN 1&8
The gravel path that ran along the right side of number one green has been removed, filled in with topsoil and roped off. This area comes into play on holes one and eight. It will be seeded as soon as possible this spring and will increase playability in this area.
17 BUNKER
We are in the process of repairing the green side bunker to the left of #17. What we thought would be a pretty quick process, has turned out to be a little more complicated. The floor of the bunker was extremely uneven causing sand depths to vary from one inch to twelve inches. Some drain lines were not at a proper depth causing them and the gravel around them to come in contact with the bunker sand. This is how the contamination occurred. Our plan is to remove all the contaminated sand, drain lines and pea gravel. We will level the bunker floor, set the trenches for the drain lines to the proper depth, properly install drain lines and bring in new bunker sand.
