Greens and Surrounds Irrigation Project

Staking at #18 green
The Irrigation project to improve the overall quality of our greens complexes has started. The past week Mike Kuhn and Theilen Contractors have been on the property staking the in-field placement of the new irrigation heads. If you have played over the last week there were indicator flags around the greens complexes determining the specific locations. Most of these flags have been since been removed and have been painted instead, with a shallow hole so the locations will not be lost during construction.

New Satellite location #8
Progress this week saw holes #1,2, and 3 have new irrigation piping and heads installed.  Restoration work has also been completed before moving onto the next hole.  Also the satellite pads were formed and new field satellites were installed.  Next Monday we will be starting construction on holes #4, and 5.

During the irrigation installation we have placed a temporary pin on the fairway, as the green on that hole is closed.  No more then 2 holes will be closed at any time, and members and their guests have been asked to play to the provisional pin or play 1-2 extra holes on the golf course that are not closed to complete an 18 hole round.  In scoring the closed golf holes, players are asked to use the equitable score for that hole.

Information on hole closures and scoring are available daily at the First Tee daily.
