Hallelujah Frost! Three Royal Flushes

Pretty unbelievable the luck we have had this winter. It seems every time we needed frozen, solid ground to drive heavy loads upon, we got it as ordered. This is like playing poker and getting a Royal Flush not once but three times! And in north Germany that is even more impressive. In between we had some wet weather, which was expected, but amazingly we had stretches of dry weather without frost too.

Today the topsoil by the forward tees on Hole 3 was removed, the hills topsoiled, the back of Hell bunker topsoiled, sand driven into the bunker left of green 2 and rootzone driven into the 3rd green. We'll have only a couple piles of dirt to knock down yet, and then it's picking off the last small stuff.

The guys have finished hauling topsoil and will now start hauling rootzone. The beds of the dumpers must be cleaned first. We don't want any clumps of topsoil in the sand for the green.
