equipment we have available to us. We will continue
to close the range on Mondays to work on this project
until complete. This will clean-up a couple of unsightly
areas that have been in front of the range for a while.
Thank you for your patience with this.

A great deal of our time this winter is going to the
construction of the bunkers and our in-house drainageonstruction of the bunkers and our in-house drainage
c
projects. We will be working with Modern Golf to
remove beneficial sands from the bunkers throughout
the winter months. Sands that are good quality will be
used to top-dress fairways. We are stock piling these
sands to use in the spring. The remaining sands will be
combined with the native clay soils to create the new
bunker complexes. unker complexes. We will also be watering and
b
cleaning the course from our lovely flying friends the
Canadian Geese.

Please remember as you drive through the course on
frosty mornings to use the cart paths the entire way. If
driven on these areas take much longer to recover in
the spring and some will need seeded. As you see me
running around all winter don’t hesitate to wave meunning around all winter don’t hesitate to wave me
r
down with any questions about the bunker project or
anything else on the course.You can also email and
call me with any questions.
