This will be a very busy week at Bernardo Heights even though we will not record a single round of golf. This period will impact course conditions for years to come as we complete some important projects along with our standard fall maintenance.
On Monday, we punched (aerified, but I'm going to say punched because spell check keeps changing it to verified and I'm tired of fixing it) all the greens, punched the driving range tee, and verticut all the areas we intend to overseed, which are few this year.
Our contractors trenched another 300 feet for a new 10 inch mainline up the left rough of #18. Last week they installed about 400 feet of pipe in a very complicated area with many new valves, transition from our existing system, and re-configuring a 3-way mainline junction. Tomorrow will be smooth sailing with 100 more yards up the left rough before crossing the 18th fairway and heading over to our connection near the 1st tee.
While they were busy with the 10 inch install, our talented staff handled the installation of HDPE pipe in the tunnel crossing between #'s 2 and 3. Our mechanic, Santiago welded a side bar on our front end loader to raise the pipe above the support brackets. We used a couple of ladders, another tractor, and a bunch of manpower to move the pipe in place while Santiago drove from one end to the other.
Up next for our staff is bunker renovation on #8. More on that tomorrow.
