The start of the off-season has been a wet one since the Club closed, as it has rained every week since. However, we have been able to accomplish a lot what we expected to do during this time.
The landscape improvements at the Tennis/Swim facility is going as planned. The old crossties have been removed and the new stone wall is well under way. With good weather, the stone wall should be done in about 3 weeks. After the wall is done, we will be adding irrigation followed by plant material.

The installation of new irrigation heads around the greens has been completed. A total of 177 sprinklers were replaced in 8 days.

In addition to aerifying greens, we also injected sand into the root zone by way of a DryJect machine. This process helps to reduce organic matter and also firm up the greens.

Due to the rain, we have been unable to proceed with drainage work. As a result, we have focused on a project that we can do at this time and that is leveling several tees. As I am writing, our staff is busy finishing leveling the white tee on #3 and will then go to the brown tee on #12.
