Hole Nr. 2 Before and After

Before my arrival, the previous builder spent 10-months making construction error after construction error unhindered. Here they stripped the greensite of organic material and pushed it to the tees as fill for the third hole... a construction "NO-NO". It was one of many that filled 11-pages after my 4.5 day walk through of the property before taking the project... and I still didn't catch them all! All this will be documented in the upcoming book Sand Valley, It's Design, Construction & Future.

This greensite fortunately wasn't mismanaged, but proved to be an interesting adventure, it was a product of evolution, seizing on unforeseen opportunities. Had it been a project that followed plans, the opportunities would have been missed, and the greensite less beautiful because of it.

















Before.
















After. This greensite took the longest to shape, for a whole host of reasons.
