14 Revamp

We had a very productive week and completed the revamp of 14 approach. The landing area was widened 20+ feet to accept those long iron shots into the green. I decided to use the sod from the right hand side of two approach(the approach to nowhere) so that once everything heals the grass will blend in perfectly with the original approach. No-one sells,grows our construction blend(princeville bentgrass) and would cause an unsightly line where we reworked.

Removing sod at the approach edge and bunker.

The first step was to remove the sand and liner.

After getting the grade close, sand was spread to fill in any small imperfections.
