Hole 15

Image
Hole 15 is pretty much ready to sod. They also started on hole 16 today . Please stay off the areas where they are going to lay the sod. We will be putting up rope to keep people out of those areas. We will also be running the sprinklers frequently during the day. They will be on a timer so watch out for heads popping up out of the blue.  When they start sodding I'll post some more pictures.  Have a great day !! Dave

Sod project

Well I got good news, starting tomorrow the sodding project on holes 15 and 16 will begin tomorrow. They will be preparing the areas that need to be sodded. Please be patient while this project is going on. Be courteous to the workers. They will work as fast as they can. Sounds like they would like to have this project wrapped up by Friday.  Also please stay out of the areas that are being prepped for sod. Also Mr. Minske has been working hard on holes 16 and 18. He has added dirt and seed to some bad areas. Please please stay out of these areas. Starting this week I will be starting a few more employees. These employees are retired and will be mowing tees, greens, and fairways. I'm very happy to have them helping me this summer. The rest of the crew will be starting in June when they get out of school. Everyone enjoy the beautiful weather this week and have a great week..... Dave

They came armed with rakes and they went to town. It was something to see all those girls working as a team to make Eastwood a better place. The story gets better. Mayo and Century boys golf team showed up also. I took the Mayo boys over to hole 11 and we picked up all the garbage on the right and left side of that hole. Then we picked up more garbage around the pond of hole 11. As we were driving back to the front side of the golf course I asked the Mayo boys to take over raking for the gals. The Mayo girls where more than happy to hand over their rakes. The Mayo boys raked for a wh...
