It has been a little over a week since Punxsutawney Phil had
predicted six more weeks of winter; and it seems as if he were correct. With the latest storm over the weekend the total
snowfall amount has surpassed the 40 inch mark.
With no signs of letting up, we will be lucky to see green grass by
April. Even with the harsh winter
weather, we have still been able to access the course and continue with our
winter projects. Here are some photos of
work we have been doing this winter:
15 Creek Bed Project:
The objective of this project is to reshape the creek bed to become more golfer friendly by making it easier to hit golf shots and walk through while still keeping it a hazard.
 |
| The first step was to remove large rocks and debris located within the bed. |
 |
| Next, we added soil and used the transit to create fall so rain water can drain naturally. |
 | |
| The the soil was packed and checked once more for fall. |
Currently this project is at a halt as we wait for warmer temperature and the snow to melt. The next and final step will be to lay sod. The finished product will allow golfers to walk through the creek bed without concerns of stepping on a rock and twisting an ankle. It will also be easier to hit golf shots out of. But be careful because it will still be marked as a hazard so don't ground your club!
We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of spring and some warmer
weather. But while we wait, we will soak
in the beautiful scenery that RiverCrest Golf Club has to offer.
