The weather has been excellent for our project and we are moving very quickly. We have 4 holes shaped and ready for finishing touches; drains, stone, bunker liner, bunker sand and sod. The next wave of construction workers will be here on Thursday and sod should start sometime by end of next week, depending on the weather. we are rough shaping the next two holes, 15 and 16. We will be working straight through Labor Day weekend and club championship. We need to take every advantage of the weather that we are given because soon the weather will turn and the days will be shorter.
So far the shaping and design of the bunkers is in line with a classical look golf course. Every Thursday Mark Mungeam is in to sign off on each step of the process and to mark out the next two holes. This is an entire team effort and all aspects of the team are working great together.
I know it may be hard for everyone to envision what the green complex will look like but when the first hole is sodded everyone will be as excited as the management team is. I think this will make the entire membership excited for 2014 opening day. I know we are already excited to show off the restoration of Glen Oak Country Club.
