#18 Practice Green
This is the original site of the old practice area after demolition day.
The new green was enlarged by almost 1200 sq. ft. We added a few new contours and slope as well as put in drainage.
4" gravel layer.
Seeded on May 13th with a 50/50 blend of Tyee & 007 bentgrass. Germination was first noted on May 18th.
This picture was taken October 2009 just prior to reopening the practice area.

Putting Green Party
These pictures were taken from the private putting green that I'm responsible for maintaining. The owner wanted to have a "Putting Green Party" so I set up a 9-hole putting course on the green which included sand traps, trees, and other various hazards and obsticles.

Cart path install
We used a paving material called StaLok.
The material is loaded into a paver which lays down an even layer at your desired depth and width. At install we put down 4" which compacts to 2" when rolled with a heavy roller.
The final product is very clean and natural looking. One of the benefits of StaLok is that is blends right in with the natural surroundings.

Why water doesn't flow
Well it's no surprise why this area was wet spot. This is what we found in the pipe when we dug it up. The connection collapsed who knows when and has been filling up with dirt and gravel for quite some time.
To fix it we severed the connection and clean out as much debris as possible. Then we snaked the lower half of the drain and reconnected new fittings.
Notice the nice clean and neat working area. Burlap rules!

Before and after photos
BEFORE
This picture was take Fall 1999 - Sorry the size is so small, but this pic was scanned from the original photo.
AFTER
This was taken Fall 2008 - Notice how much more dune exposure there is compared to the photo from 1999.
BEFORE
Notice the cartpath in the far distance on left side of the photo. In the latter photos that same cartpath is there, but now nearly invisible as it hides in the exposure of the dunes.
AFTER
Another AFTER look
