Walls come tumbling down

The long cold winter did more than keep members off the course and praying for spring. The heavy snow coupled with rapid warm ups then deep freezes caused excessive expansion of the soil behind the dry stack walls. Four large sections of walls in and around 15 tee and 17 green collapsed into the ponds. This was especially difficult as someone had to get into the VERY cold water to pick up and rebuild these sections. My assistants Corey and Josh(expert wall builders) volunteered to get wet. Thank goodness for insulated waders!

He actually looks like he's enjoying this!

The soil behind the wall was removed and back-filled with stone to help reduce future problems.

Nice work
