• Irrigation System Pressurizing: Depending on the progress of holes #1, #9, #10, and #18 the goal will be to pressurize the system in the middle of February. The Irrigation system will assist in additional dust control around the entire course.
• Bunker Construction will begin at the beginning of March
• The 60 inch equalizer piping for #1 is scheduled to be installed at the beginning of February
• The weir structures (control water elevations in the ponds) are scheduled to be replaced in February. There are total of 5 structures that are scheduled to be replaced.
