Its Friday and not much to report. We made good progress on stripping sod of holes 1-6. We will continue to strip sod and remove the old sod to be able to tie in the new shapes of bunkers. We painted a rough line for 17 to show our new bunker shape. This is not final and we will meet with Jeff Blume tomorrow for final approval. The goal is to have 1-3 and 17 bunker lines to work off of by tomorrow.
Holes 9,10 and 18 will have drains installed and liner starting early next week. These bunkers are going to look fantastic and give the Weiskopf a new look. There will be many areas around greens that we will eliminate bunkers but keep somewhat of the shapes of the old bunkers. We will mow these areas down to approach height which will bring a new shot into play. You may have to putt them out, or bump a hybrid. Or for the brave at heart, nip a wedge off close mown turf. More pics to come next week as we make more progress.
