New Year and Project Updates

Well I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas with your family and friends like I did with my mine. Things have been a little slower around here this past week with the holiday and vacation time, but we are back at it today working outside enjoying some sunshine. We have been continuing our work on the bunkers on #5 green and hope to have the grading work completed today before the next round of below freezing temperatures arrives. Also we are starting to do some logistics work for the #5 creek project (hauling dirt for temporary damns, clearing native areas for equipment access, installing barrier fence, etc.) getting the final details taken care of, so that once we get the final go ahead to start from the State we are ready to go. The permitting process has been a long process, but hopefully we are getting down to the end and will hear something shortly. Another project we are going to try to start work on is the drainage installation on #16 fairway. If the weather holds and conditions stay like they are we hope to possibly start sometime this week or early next. During this last batch of wet weather it looks like our new drain lines in #14 fairway have been working like we hoped. This area has been noticeably drier and there hasn't been any standing water on the grass like there has been in the past so this should really help our turf conditions in this area. Lastly I just want to thank all of you for your support of our maintenance team in 2014 and helping to make it one of the best yet! As the New Year arrives this week we are excited for 2015 and are eagerly looking forward to making it even better than last year here at Wolf Creek! I hope everyone has a safe and awesome New Year and I look forward to seeing all of you in 2015!
