Green Committee Decisions

10's Test Bunker -- Deep Tilling
Yesterday, the monthly meetings of the Golf & Green Committees met.  The following are some of the decisions that were made:
1)  To preform a couple of test bunkers to see if we can increase their desirability.
           - One on 10's front right
                  - will be deep tilled, watered in and have the edges pulled up
           - One on 11's front left
                  - will have the sod line pulled down.
           - One on 12's front right
                  - will have plain blow sand added.
11's Test Bunker -- Sod Line Moved Down
2) Bunkers will have edges always raked -- in or out alternating
3) Rake handles will be labeled stating their location -- outside for now.
4) DR tee will be mowed in a way to eliminate the front and back slope.
5) The Poa Annua will be killed in 4's nursery.
6) Cart paths will be blown by day's end of days they are edged.
7) Green speed will be kept to 9.5 to 10 
       - currently they are slightly higher than wanted.
12's Test Bunker -- Blow Sand Addition
As you can see most of the issues addressed the bunkers and our team is working hard on this issue to improve.  The test bunker project will start on Friday and these areas will be roped and considered at first GUR.
Hydraulic Blow Out on 16's Fairway
Two other notes:  We have treated the massive hydraulic leak on 16's fairway that occurred last Friday and seed has been applied.  Second, the tree on 5's right side in front of the bunker in the fairway has been tabled after a split decision.
