I must not want to do anything but sit in my recliner and do computer work. I think it has to do with my being on the business end of a shovel, doing some green and bunker face repairs at the Mines earlier today.
It's a bit premature, and these pictures aren't the best due to weather and other factors, but I thought y'all might want to see what DeVries was doing last summer and this spring. All of these picture were taken last fall. The amount of grass on the course now is vastly different.
2nd hole before grass
2nd hole after grass
Par 3 8th The turf will start on the upslope right before the green. The rest of the hole will be rugged, sort of Pine Valleyesque.
11th, par 3 from the west orientation. Also has a southern set of tees from a different yardage.
14th, par 4 from the landing area. Semi blind approach to an at-grade green. Thats the super applying some fungicide in anticipation of winter.
15th, par 3…plays about 130 yds. Better be in full(spin) control on this one.
back to the 2nd the day of seeding…from the tee
16th, par 4…from the tee…..left bunker is dead center of fwy
17th, par 5……second half of hole…great green setting!
Thanks to George Pazin for his assistance in getting these pictures posted.
Once we get some warmer air here, the grass will go nuts and really fill in. I hope someone more talented than I can get out here to take some quality pictures.....that's a hint to Ralph Livingston!
