Progress Update - 9/26/15

• Erosion Repair Work:
• Areas that had erosion due to significant rainfall are currently being repaired. Several areas on the front 9 are complete and majority of those areas the turf that was installed was able to be reused. The contractor has a 5-6 man team assisting with the repair work. We are projecting the erosion repair work to be finished by the week of October 19th.
• Bridge Work:
• All the bridges have had new guard railings installed and the sides have been stained with a fresh coat of paint. The railings will not be stained brown in the future however we will plan on applying a sealer on a yearly basis
• Lakes on hole #5 & #14:
• Due to the disturbance of the earth to those two lakes in particular, we continue to battle algae. We are implementing an environmentally friendly dye to help shade the lake and block the sunlight from reaching the soil under the water. The aquatic maintenance team have also been treating the lakes and are now introducing a microbial treatment. 
• We are still optimistic that a majority of the cypress trees located on the 5 newly created islands will survive the environmental change that they have went through. In the event that a few may need to be replaced, 5 green buttonwoods have been installed as a potential replacement.  
• Additional aquatic plants are also being considered as they aide in filtrating the water and shade the soil similar to the dye.
