Resurfacing 19th tee

Well it's about time we got some reasonable weather, April was pretty much a write off from the golf point of view as well as from a maintenance point of view. Too cold and wet to golf and far too wet to get much done on the course. Now that we are getting some nicer weather we are trying to get caught up with our mowing and getting at some much overdue repairs to the course. Yesterday we started the process of resurfacing the 19th tee, the old turf has been torn out while the tee has been made a touch larger. New aggregate has been brought to the right grade and tomorrow the hitting surface will be installed. It should be ready for play by Monday. The bunker on #11 is drying up nicely with hopes of getting back at hauling fill early next week. We still have a fair bit of work to do before that job will be completed. After we have enough fill it will have to be graded, then what was the end of the waste bunker closest to the green will be shaped into a new white sand bunker. A drainage line will be trenched from just in front of the ladies tee through the fill and new bunker finishing through the approach and into the trees. Lay the sod, fill the bunker with sand and we are done.
