The new pro shop building was framed in this past week. The pictures below show the one week progression. The ballroom floor in the clubhouse was poured last friday. Most of the old main parking lot has been removed and the grade is being lowered substantially. The base material is being pushed over the hill on the east side of the parking lot to build the #1 tee complex.
On the golf course, drainage installation continues and rough shaping has begun on some tee and green complexes as well as certain areas of fairways that are being modified. Irrigation main line installation should begin sometime this week. The new mainlines will be installed alongside the fairways in the rough, not down the middle of the fairway as with the old design.
GC Architect Richard Mandell will be on site May 22 and 23 to look things over, approve progress to that point and to make sure he and Duininck's lead shaper have the same vision for all new golf course features. It takes a great deal of communication and talent to tranfer designs from paper to the field such that both architect and owner are satisfied. The next two months will be very exciting as this all comes together! Stay tuned.

 |
| Some of Duininck's equipment arrived on site in early May. The two excavators are for drainage and irrigation main line installs. The two dozers are for rough shaping. |
