Entire team came together and knocked it out of the park. 3 more green complexes done with the last one getting mix and bunker sand today for sod early next week. Very happy to be working with @BenkuskyGolf , Leibold and @levifloming @_BenNichols_ to get these huge upgrades across the finish line for membership!!

10/1, we fully shut down and work is coming together. Hole 15 is much improved. Lowered the green 3 feet, shifted green to the right, new bunker and new green complex. Team has been putting in long hrs. @levifloming @SuperTimG132 @_BenNichols_
You know most properties have that one green on a course thats just a pia...... I couldn't be happier to see this green be destroyed!!!!
On to the next!!! What's that say "You gotta kick ass when the sun is shining"!!! @levifloming @_BenNichols_ @DogsOfTurf

Trying to find something positive in all this.....look at those @Billy_Bunker @best_sand bunkers holding up perfectly!!! Also, sure glad we won't need to fix the old bunkers after this #seasonsover #creeksout #monsoonseason 🤦🏼♂️🤬🏳🏳🏳
Failing miserably at this!!!
