6 weeks post seeding. They're starting to look like actual putting greens now!

[Lydell Mack @lmack_1]

@JeffHacior @bergingolf It'll be easy street after the last 18 are done!

Shots of the day from Big Canoe. We are finished. Time to mow and grow!

#4 green complex. It looks like a golf hole again!

Creek 5 is finally looking like a golf hole. You see the new fwy bunker in the lower right of the pic and the putting green is the area outlined in black in the distance.

Exciting to see the greens mix being installed on #1 green and the main line irrigation pipe ready to go for #8 & 9

Bill Bergin @bergingolf was on site today with his father. New tee locations marked on #5, 6, 7 & 8. Fairway bunkers on #4 & 5 positioned as well.

[Lydell Mack @lmack_1]

The first main line pipe being fused together. The HDPE pipe is welded with heat, not chemically like our old PVC.

[Lydell Mack @lmack_1]

The old 5th green is now gone. Only the front bunker remains... until tomorrow!
