New Bridge on #17

The old walk bridge on hole #17 was in pretty bad shape and needed to be replaced.  We have many talented people on our crew with some very handy skills.  Scott Chrisman is a crew member who has many years of carpentry experience and has done some nice work on many projects this winter.  He and the crew demolished the old structure and rebuilt and nice new bridge complete with handrails on both sides.  The old bridge had a makeshift handrail on one side only.  Having a carpenter on staff is of great benefit to our golf course.

The top decking boards were still in good shape, we reused them.

The rotten boards underneath were the problem.

The bride stripped back to the telephone pole supports.

The old decking boards were cut to equal lengths.

The recycled boards put back in place as the new support boards.

New boards purchased from Lowes.

We had 2 gas generators and lots of batteries.

The new flooring is looking good.

Handrail supports in place.

The new handrail is looking great.

We have a much nicer bridge on #17.
