After almost 4 years of research, various plans, one engineer firm, one golf architect firm, hundreds of survey stakes, numerous compaction tests, soil testing, board meetings and town council meetings we are now days away from a finished product at the 7th tee.
The greatest safety issue on the golf course has been solved and we are almost ready to show it off to golfers. Yesterday sod was installed on the tee surface. Large sod rolls were used to reduce the amount of seams on the tee. The tee should be ready for play in the next ten days.
Surrounding the tee, there still is some work to complete. Justin has been working extremely hard getting the irrigation completed in the area. It hasn't been easy working around Landscapes Unlimited while they finish the tee. He has designed and installed irrigation for the tee surface as well as the native areas that will include new pine and fir trees as well as rose and serviceberry bushes.
Around the woody material, native seed will be used and a straw seed mat will prevent erosion and enhance seed growth.
There are a few more trees that need to be removed in front of the tee boxes from the site. A plan is in action to remove them as soon as possible according to town specifications.
