BRP 7/16/21
Well, it has been a rough 2 weeks. The storms have been making things
a bit more challenging. We didn’t achieve as much as we would have liked,
but we kept progressing forward. Many of the newly shaped bunkers or areas ready
to be shaped have been too muddy to work in a few days. We also have had a lot of storm damage. We have lost 10 trees to the storms. G&G has spent several
days cleaning up the course and has not been able to achieve much advancement
on tree trimming and desert landscaping. The BRP schedule remains in good shape,
but the window is now a little tighter. Landscapes Unlimited is currently
evaluating the new to bring in additional staff to catch up and make sure the
BRP hits its schedule.
Since our last update holes 7, 3, and 2 have been completed
through sod. #17 was supposed to be finished on 7/17 but due to the weather
delays will not be finished till 7/20. We have 6 holes complete through sod.
Holes #17, #1, and #8 are shaped and the drainage is being installed. Holes #9
and #18 are currently being shaped and edged. If you would like to see some
impressive dozer work check out the 18th green complex next week. We
hope to complete #17 and #1 though sod next week and #8, #9, and potentially
some of #18 the following week. If all goes according to plan that will give
us 11 completed holes through July and give us 4 more weeks to complete the
remaining 7 holes to be completed by Sept. 3rd. Landscapes Unlimited
is confident they will hit the schedule but wants to ensure success by bringing
in some extra staff and equipment.
G&G will shift its focus next week to aerifying the
entire golf course. The following week we will begin verti-cutting and
dethatching. Both practices will be a bit challenging given all of the construction,
but we anticipate finishing in the next 2-3 weeks. Once these practices are complete,
we will shift our focus back to landscaping, tree trimming, and topdressing the
new sod around the new bunkers.
