Work continues on 18. Total golf expects to finish next week. It has rained all 3 days this week thus far. Tomorrow we will lower irrigation pipe and add pop ups around green for Sod next Tuesday.
Picture below of shaping of 18 approach

Below #3 collar/bunker slope repair.
We’ve had two Monday closings and the only aerification that we’ve done is solid tining greens last Monday. Last Sunday, we received 2 inches of rain and today we’re heading to 4 inches of rain. We will just try and aerify tees and fairway’s the next two closings.
A 100 percent chance of showers is expected Monday, with possible thunderstorms before 2 p.m. and before 8 p.m., weather officials said. Some of the storms could bring heavy rainfall.
Tuesday through Saturday will have a 70 percent chance of showers. Temperatures throughout the week will fluctuate between the low 80s and low 70s.
I would expect some cart path only conditions over the next few days.
18 rock wall is starting to pick up steam as the bottom course is now almost complete.
I would anticipate the rock wall to be finished by next Wednesday and soil and grading finish in another week.
The staff finished 2 fairway bunker and has started on 4 Fwy bunker as of today. Sod is expected this Tuesday.
Monday was our first closing and we solid tined aerify the greens followed by 2 vertical mowings and topdressing. Greens are putting in the slow side because of these practices and will improve as the week progresses.
