10/7 Update

I haven't had much time for picture-taking so this will be an abbreviated post. The grow-in is going well though we are a bit behind. Holes 13, 18, 12 and the Driving Range were seeded late, up to two weeks outside the optimum seeding window for our location, and our progress going forward will, of course, be very weather dependent. Duininck continues to work on their punchlist, tweaking and repairing a variety of issues that ultimately occur during golf course construction.If all goes as planned they should be off site by the end of October. Keller grounds staff continue to mow, water, fertilize and deal with falling leaves. Pray for a warm October.



McGough workers install the new 60' flag pole between the 11th green and the clubhouse.

The driving range netting went up in approximately 10 days. Here workers drill 10 foot deep holes for the support poles.

Poles installed along the first hole prior to being cemented in place.
