Drainage in the practice green bunker.
Last weeks rainstorm adds new winter projects
This is a picture of the creek side on hole number 18. The bank has been cut away by the large amount of water that moved through here during the rain event. We will be moving large rock from up on the mountain down to this job site and stacking them in against this sheer bank wall to prevent any further erosion.
December and Green!
Many have noticed we are looking greener than usual for this time of year. We did a double fertilizer application this fall to help push the growth of both the root system and help heal in the traffic stressed spots.
Just in case you don't remember what some of the very stressed areas looked like this summer I have included this picture from number 12.

Bunker Washouts
The total rainfall we recieved at Kenmure was 8.5 inches. This was within a 24 hour timespan. Most of the bunkers on the golf course have been washed and are currently being repaired.
I took a small video demonstrating the contamination that occurs during the washout and how this affects the bunker.

Rainy Tuesday
Rainfall total at 3:00 pm is 4.7 Inches
Irrigation System Winterized & Clubhouse Decorating
Maintenance Updates:
We have winterized the pump station. All the underground pipes on the golf course have been drained of water for the year. We do this to prevent and freezing that could occur. The system is drained through a series of valves that open up pipes for the water to drain into the ponds. I took a picture of one such pipe on #5.

Happy Thanksgiving!
A couple updates for you to digest along with your turkey. Both bunkers are now compete on #18. We are pleased with how these turned out and suspect that they should no longer be a problem. Our next move will be to fix the bunkers around the practice area.
We have also restored some drainage in between #4 tee and #7 green. The drains were completely clogged with roots. I have include a few pics below.

Bunker Renovation Underway on #18
Hello Kenmure Golfers,
Today we have begun the renovation of the bunkers on #18 green. These bunkers have been a hot topic at many greens committee meetings in the past and we are here to solve the problem once and for all.
The bunkers are getting a total facelift with triple the amount of drainage and new sand. The subsurface has also been recontoured to allow for better drainage. The sand was selected to be as close a match to the Kenmure "Traditional Sand".
I have taken some video and plan on taking more as we complete the project.
