Haven't checked in for a while. Looks like the work is progressing very nicely. Powell, what is the composition of the soil the course sits on? I know damn little about the geology of eastern PA. I ask the question because I would like to know what Keith had to consider regarding drainage in the renovation/restoration master plan.
I believe I played the course on June 7 after the deluge of the 6th where more than 4 inches of rain fell in the Philadelphia area. It rained hard enough that day for there to be standing water in the fairways at Hidden Creek, a course constructed on sand. Philadelphia Cricket was wet, and the stream was barely back in its banks, but the course was playable and it was not casual water everywhere, or really, anywhere, except near the creek. After 4 inches of rain in NH, our courses would have been soggy, with lots of casual water.
Keith must know the soil profile and I would be interested in it's composition.
Thank you again for your earnest reporting on the project. I can't wait to actually test it out, assuming McKeever will have me back.
