Holes 6 & 7; Inching Closer

Well, with the weather holding on we began stripping the green site and waste bunker that fronts the 7th and 16th greens; a high area. It’s a matter of getting the remainder of the hole 6th and 7th covered with a 1.2 meter layer of sand and we can really make progress; shaping the contours. We’re inching closer.

The 6th fairway today. The organic material has been stripped away, trees cut, stumps and roots removed. Sand capping of the fairway, some 300 meters by 70 meters by 1 to 1.2 meters is almost complete. The sand is installed in 30cm (1 foot) layers to ensure proper compaction.
