You might have noticed a few trees and a lot of brush missing between the right of 16 fairway and left of 7 green. This is a clearing project that we've started to make way for a bit of free fill we've been able to locate, thanks to Jim Wheeler and Nick Masterpole. The total amount is around 5000 cubic yards in volume which will supply us for any projects the Greens Advisory Committee can dream up for years to come. The best part is, the material is free -- and thanks to Jeff Hanlon's generosity, so was temporary use of his bulldozer.
What you'll see replacing the brush is a grassy berm. It will be tall enough to completely block out the shop from 16 and 7. If we need extra room for more fill, we'll start the same process down the left of 6.
Ideally, the shop will be hidden behind a berm on 3 sides. This will eliminate the noise and sights that emanate from our work area, which at times, can be loud and disruptive. When fill is needed we'll be able to mine out what we need from the shop side of the berm without disturbing the look of the 'course-side' of it.
As the project develops, I'll update with details and pictures here.
