The back nine renovation is coming along as well as can be expected in spite of the elements. The brutal heat requires Gary give careful attention to irrigation particularly on the new greens. Preparation of the new tees and installation of base material has been completed with laser-leveling scheduled to begin on August 1st followed by sodding. Newly designed green tees will appear on #11, #12, #13, #15, #17 and #18. A new concrete cart path for re-routing of cart traffic has been completed near the red tee at #12 and another is being installed at #11. Bunker work will follow in due course.
#11 Cart Path Pssst ……have you noticed how well the front nine is being maintained including repair of the 1st and 7th greens? Is there an “Attaboy!” out there for Gary and his crew? “Rebuild it and they will come”The Cedar Creek and The Aiken Golf Club Mixed Four-Ball Tournament – the first of its kind – will be held on August 20th.
