Welcome

Fascinating how detailed Bill is in the design of a golf course:

#1. We are mowing this hole and it will get better quickly. Lydell can go ahead and cut fairway per my plans. There will be chipping areas right and left of the green – these areas benefit most by mowing so they can tighten up. 

#5. I marked both bunkers for adjustments and edging. They can be drained. The fairway bunker is a bit too boxy, round off the angled corners slightly and expand the left side of the bunkers marked. Dip the crest line as marked in one location. The greenside bunker looks better. Open up the front with a simple expansion. Knock down the high point on the back right collar. Raise the back crest line/saddle slightly. Edge and drain for my review. Keep working on the basin area right of the green to make it look and feel like it is in the low. Fill a more level path exiting the fairway on the left side of the green, leading to the A tee on the 6th hole. We will have a rolled berm along the path as it climbs the hill right of the green. Add big rocks along the right side of the path from the big tree down to the A tee on the 6th. This will serve as a natural guard rail. We will grow fescue between the rocks and will allow surface drainage to exit the path on the right so we avoid water build up going down the path. 

#9. Broaden the fairway basin on the left side of the landing area and keep these blends nice and soft. The bunker is marked for edging and can be drained. Work on the fairway side tie-in and add some material on the left side green end of the bunker. The greens complex is really coming together. The bunker is marked for edging and can be drained. Lower the collar between the bunker and the center section of the green about .2’ or so. We made some adjustments to the putting surface to guide the floating process.
