On the 10th hole, prepping the soil for sod is well under way and looking great. However, anytime we work on this hole, we have to hope for the best in terms of rain. Any uncovered areas are prone to erosion should we receive heavy rains where water gets above the stream banks. The week, as much as 7" of rain is predicted! We're hoping the rain doesn't come in huge volumes at once, rather steady over a longer period of time. This will keep the water confined within the stream banks. We've set out about 100 bales of wheat straw to act as water breaks should the water get out of the stream.
Above, you can see the attractive headwall that was constructed around the 24" culvert that was used to divert water around the pond during the dredging process. Below, the fairway and rough are ready for sod. Once complete, the dredging project is officially finished!
