Lake Update

Last week, contractors wrapped up the scope of their work at the site of the new reservoir.  Monday thru Thursday saw the installation of the new main line, attaching the pump house to the current irrigation system.  Installed along with this pipe, was our potable water fill line.  This source could be used in the future if the well is unavailable or if we need to blend the two sources for quality issues.  We hope to use this source on a rare occasion, but the fill line is certainly necessary.

The sod, hybrid bermuda, came in on Friday and installation was finished by 11:00 am.  The sod company wasted very little which resulted in some extra sod which we'll be installing in some thin spots.

All of the 11th hole will be fertilized and aerified to promote recovery from the sporadic watering and heavy traffic from the last few months.  Most of the bermuda that is now brown and dormant along the right rough will bounce back with some extra water and some fertilizer.

This week, the BHCC crew will install the filter flush line and the lake aeration system.  We also will prepare for landscaping around the lake and pump house and get the sod rooted into its new home.  The temporary tee on 11 and the temporary green on 17 are no longer needed, so go out and enjoy a full golf course.  We do ask that you take a drop from any new sod and limit any traffic across roped-off locations.
