This has been a productive day. We got a lot done thanks to the frost.Andreas naturalized a section of creek yesterday evening and it looks great. Today he was off to the buffer wall left of the 3rd hole. Only a few days ago it was so soft you couldn't walk near it. Today Andreas was able to get a large portion of it rough shaped, and it is looking good with bold, flowing contours reflective of what you might find in the region... where it isn't flat!
To the left of the 2nd the material excavated from the creek has been shaped and covered with topsoil, and the 1st fairway was stripped of grass. You wouldn't believe all the balls hiding under the turf! It was like mushroom season.
The bunker before the green has material in place for shaping and 2/5ths of the fairway after the creek stripped of topsoil. We are removing the topsoil so we can add a blanket of sand to improve drainage. I recall it being like a rice paddy last winter. The new work should fix that problem.
Slowly this section of the property is starting to look like a golf course instead of a war zone.
