Projects & CC Drive

Projects are normally saved for the summer time but this year a couple of unique occurrences transpired.  With the slurry of the streets there has been a concern about the golf course's irrigation hitting the street and leaving salt deposits.  We have long ago repaired and changed the sprinkler heads along the roads to newer and adjustable trajectory nozzles; however, most of the issues are within the golf course.  Due to the golf course not being a perfect "square" some of the heads in order to get correct coverage and distribution uniformity in places such as green surrounds, tees and fairways sadly extend into the roads as well.  Those are the heads we are currently working on to reduce (not eliminate) our irrigation's contact on the streets of Avondale.  This will take some time to do correctly.

Other projects slated for work right now include the changing of the landscape around the 5's tee bathroom ... this is in work today (also working with the Board and the HOA); marrying of Dr. Elli's landscape on 8 with ours (starting next week somewhat); the redesigning and repair to the big bed at the club house (drawings and cost being submitted to Green Committee for review and approval); the hiding of the A/C unit behind the pro shop (Brandon and Dennis are handling -- using a wall as a barrier instead of plants); installation of plants back where they were removed during the 15's water fountain changes over this summer (should be finished this week); the repair of the fountains and their lights in the lake near the clubhouse (in work); and maybe the addition of a second tier of bougainvilleas above where the "animals" use to be (requires irrigation upgrades).

Lastly, we are continuing and finishing the work to the plants and irrigation along Country Club Drive.  This has required so far this week 20+ man hours but will be completed today.
